Bully depicts the stories of individual children dealing with different types of harassment at their schools and Mean Girls showcases fictional examples of bullying going on between people all around high school, especially with the teenage girls. Tropes are always reoccurring in medias almost like a stereotypical element; these films clearly show the classic depiction of a person being bullied to the breaking point, and what happens to the bullies who have caused it.…

    From watching “Bully” by Lee Hirsch and Cynthia Lowen and reading the article “Bullying is not on the rise…” by Kelly McBride, both showed unethical acts.

    The documentary, Bully, follows five children, from elementary school to high school, and offers an intimate viewpoint on the topic of bullying, and how it affects young children and their families. My overall reaction to this documentary was an initial feeling of sadness. Sadness for the children who have been affected by bullying in the documentary, and sadness for all of those who have been affected by bullying in their lives. This feeling soon turned into a concoction of disappointment, anger, and overall confusion. Disappointment and anger in the fact that children in today’s society feel the need to verbally and physically attack others, and disappointment in the way that bullying is handled by teachers, parents, and administration.…
