Cyberbully



Amazing and honest
This was such a great movie. This epidemic is huge and can often lead to disastrous and terrible results and this movie absolutely captures that. When the main character receives a laptop for her birthday, she goes against her mothers wishes and joins a Facebook-esque website. Shortly after, a joke spirals out of control and rumors begin to fly. One rumor leads to another and soon she finds herself alone and the subject of cyberbullying.

The ending is positive, but the middle is what is truly horrifying. Certain moments felt like almost too much to watch and almost silly, despite knowing that this is exactly what is happening on the internet every day. That's what makes a movie like this so terrifying yet so honest. I absolutely loved this movie and would certainly recommend this. (Plus, they use "Breathe Me" by Sia in a crucial scene!)

Heartbreaking
I cannot believe there are only 3 reviews for this movie (as of March 21 anyway). EVERYONE needs to see this movie. No mainstream releases for movies lacking huge special effects, even when they are important, I guess.

This movie was definitely important. It was hard to watch, but that was because it was so accurate. If you've never been bullied, you'll probably think it's silly and overdramatic, but it's not. As the bully admits at the end, when you do it online, you don't even realize you're doing it. It doesn't seem real. It's just a computer screen. You can't see the person you're hurting. You can't see the pain in their eyes or the hurt on their face. And that's why cyberbullying has become so prevalent. Cowards do it. People who would never have the guts to say something to someone's face have no problem saying something to an inexpressive computer screen. And they have no idea the damage they cause. And the victims have no recourse. You can't go to the police with...

This is what kids go through
This is a great and educational movie. It is sad but realistic. Most people (including myself) have became cyber bully victims over nonsense. I love this movie and I hope kids will learn that words can greatly affect others
