Bully, the movie

The movie, Bully, is now in stores (and Netflix). If you haven't heard about this film, it's a documentary about the effects of bullying in the US. It sprung from the tragic suicides of Tyler Long and Ty Smalley, whose deaths were attributed to the bullying they had endured at their schools. It follows students in five different states, addressing different aspects of bullying. 

The project, which can be found at TheBullyProject.com, gives the call to action, "STOP BULLYING! SPEAK UP!" Its short term goals are getting teachers, parents, and students to stop the bullying that is currently running rampant in our schools, and being an "upstander", rather than a bystander. The project's long term goals focus on changing the way society views bullying; the victims and bullies alike.
