The Film Bully

In Bully, Lee Hirsch focuses on five different families in four different states that are have specific situations that have to do with bullying. It is clear that the subject is the movement to abolish bullying, but the speaker of the movie can be broad. In Bully, Lee Hirsch uses as rhetorical questions and imagery  as well as appeal to pathos, ethos, and logos. In Bully, Hirsch uses rhetorical questions throughout the movie to provoke the emotions of the viewers, which forces the audience to reflect on the cause of bullying.  It also makes the audience associate themselves to the victims of bullying and ask themselves what they would do in that situation. Overall, strengthening Hirsch's argument that bullying is a universal issue and it needs to be recognize our actions as a society and accept everyone for who they

For years, negativity and bullying plagued schools around the globe. Schools implemented many anti-bully precautions. However, Roni Nocon, a Mesa Verde Middle School counselor, reformed the traditional cruel and unusual punishment policy. She wanted a positive event rather than an overused anti-bullying campaign. Furthermore, she wanted to transform the school’s bland assemblies into fun and interactive ones. “[We] can create a safe environment for our school… by taking a proactive and entertaining approach to stop bullying,” Nocon said. Therefore, she; Monica Racicot, the Mesa Verde’s After School Education and Safety Program director; and Stephanie Smith, former counselor; founded Kind Crew, a club working to eradicate harassment, and revamped

The documentary, “Bully," is an incredible film which follows four teenagers through their struggle with bullying and discrimination. This film was very eye-opening to those who did not experience bullying to that degree and made it easier to understand the common issue of bullying and discrimination in our middle and high schools around the nation. It also brings attention to how poorly schools discipline discrimination.

Mary Michael once said, “High school has taught me more life lessons than actual education.” At West, especially with this project, the main goal is not to learn the literal objective of an assignment; but to realize a bigger picture and figure out how we can use these skills in the future. In finishing the Bullying Project, there are many aspects that help me understand the impacts of bullying on people at school and out in the real world.

Alex Libby got bullied for what most people get bullied for ---his looks. Many people called Alex, fish face, of course he didn't like it so he also wanted to change that. What Alex did to let his voice be heard was, he made a anti-bullying documentary. Alex made the documentary about anti-bullying because he knew many people were going through the same thing as he was.

While the messages contained in these displays are all well and good, they are not always received seriously by parts of the audience, largely because the viewers find themselves unable to relate the “classic” examples of bullying to their own lives. This barrier is one that presents a difficulty to anyone attempting to send a message to the students of the high school, including myself. Despite this challenge, I truly believe the students need to be onboard with ideas of change in order for any transformation to occur. My plan to achieve this is to

In this movie there were a lot of the characters that only would see perspectives through their own eyes. The coach was like this even until he went out into the fields with his players and picked lettuce with them. The kids also only saw their coach through their perspective until they got to know him better and allowed him to show them who he was and in the end they all grew a bond that was strong. At the beginning of the movie there was a kid who was talking back to the coach also treated the equipment manager who was a scrawny looking kid in an inferior way so that others see that he is inferior to him so I would say that was a type of relational bullying. The coach was also kind of a bully in some aspect but he of course didn’t see himself as a bully but he was fired from multiple jobs because of verbal, and psychical bullying.

Bullying is one of the main problems in the United States and has been around forever. Moreover, there are millions of anti-bullying programs throughout the U.S. that are trying to decrease or completely demolish it. Accordingly the author may have made this brief film to inform children why bullying is dreadful and what it can do to people.

When children are pushed to commit foolish activities or suicide because of bullies, one can tell there is something wrong with the way situations are being handled in our society. The documentary, Bully, presents countless examples of the effects of bullying and how poorly circumstances are managed. Through instances resulting in juvenile detention or taking one’s own life, the documentary displays various ways kids deal with torment. As we follow the lives of five different youths suffering at the hands of their peers, we see just how much these kids go through with little to no support.

SLAM! I watched Arnold get slammed into a locker by Steve. I didn’t know what to do. This was a common thing that happened every day. I decided I should tell a teacher. We were learning about algebra, so I had to wait for math to end so I could tell Mr. Willmon what Steve is doing. I thought it will be a piece of cake, but as the class went on, the more I thought about getting bullied myself by Steve. The bell rang and Arnold scurried out of the classroom.

Bullying, specifically teen bullying, has become a worldwide predicament. Nearly “30 percent of teenagers in the U.S. have been involved in bullying, either as a bully or as a victim of teenage bullying” (Bullying Statistics, 2015). Bullying makes individuals fearful and feel unsafe in their own environment. Often times, the media discusses bullying frequently. It has become a topic that has influenced the public perception. Bullying in the media has had some negative and positive effects. It has positively shown people that bullying is not inevitable nor unstoppable. The media also shows that it is not going unnoticed in society. The negative aspects tend to stereotype individuals who are bullied have a weakness predisposing that individual to bullying because they are flawed. Furthermore, the media and literature portray bullying in movies and books to let others feel as if they are not alone in this bullying epidemic, which pushes them further into isolation. I personally find myself believing that the exposure to bullying in the media gives society a chance to understand the harmful effects it can have on individuals. Furthermore, the media gives society a chance to understand how to prevent it and provide a safe environment for those exposed to bullying. This targets audiences of all ages because all play an integral part in halting bullying.

Central Idea: Bullying has been around for years, but it’s time to make a difference and get rid of it.

One day while Tabaktu was making a delivery, a local bully by the name of Java with all his friends, calls Tabaktu over to talk to him in private. Tabaktu hesitates at first but goes over to see what he wants. Java tells Tabaktu nervously, that he needs his help with something later on that night, and plans to go out when everyone is asleep. Tabaktu is wondering why Java is whispering and looking around cautiously to see who is coming around the corner every five seconds. As Java voice seemed to be getting higher and then back low, Tabaktu starts to wonder how would he be able to sneak out without someone in the house noticing him, not to mention his brother sleeps in the same bed as he does with his mom in the same room. Java is bigger and older than Tabaktu, so

We want to raise awareness of the problem by producing an in-depth documentary that educators can use to impact their students. The movie will show adults and children the signs of being bullied, will feature interviews with students and families that were affected by bullying, and will teach them how to respond in a bullying situation.

There are many interventions and techniques to combat bullying in school and outside of school. One of the ways to prevent bullying is to increase awareness of the bully and victim problem throughout the schools. Dan Olweus created a bully intervention program, which included the increase of awareness of the bully and victim problem and enhancing knowledge about it. Olweus said, “Use of the Bully/Victim Questionnaire for an anonymous survey is an important step in obtaining more specific knowledge about the frequency and nature of the problems in a particular school.”(Olweus, 1997) Schools can use this technique as a way to find out if a specific student or student population is at risk to being the bully or the targeted victims. This would
