Yesterday I was a witness of the worst kind of bullying, a father abusing his own young boy, and it was something horrible. It’s not a surprise to me because he was one of the people who bullied me as a kid. I really cannot grasp the idea that someone can do this to his own kid. As a bullied kid I know how horrible is that someone makes you feel less, but luckily for me I had amazing parents that always help through this. That makes me feel worse for the little guy bullied by his own father. I know talk about films is not the answer for this problem, but it might help to comfort and education for victims and bullies too. 
8. Mean Girls (2004) Bullying by the “it” crowd. It might seem as a silly high school movie, but mean girls is a very well exploited cliche. The movie shows in a funny way the consequences of bullying.
7. It’s a girl World (2003) A great documentary that take a look at a world largely hidden from parents and teachers, and shatters the myth that social bullying among girls is just a rite of passage. It’s a Girl’s World takes us inside the tumultuous relationships of a clique of popular 10-year-old girls. Playground bullying captured on camera shows a disturbing picture of how these girls use their closest friendships to hurt each other–with shunning, whispering and mean looks–to win social power in the group. Meanwhile, their parents struggle through denial and disbelief as they become aware of the serious consequences of this behaviour. This documentary shatters the myth that social bullying among girls is an acceptable part of growing up.
6. Ronan’s Escape
Short film directed by Australian born film writer/director A.J. Carter. The film set in the rural Australia, provides a candid insight into the life of Ronan, a 14 yr old boy who’s been bullied his whole life at school and whom decides to finally make his escape. This accurate & controversial portrayal of life for someone who has fallen victim to bullying and the repercussions which exist, is told in a unique, exposition intensive format with very little use of dialogue. Ronan’s Escape presents arbitrary scenes rather than traditional storytelling which provokes audiences into discussion and interpretation of the scenes on a more personal level while reflecting on their own experiences.

4. Bully (2011)
A wrong rated documentary about a sad reality. This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in this country experience. BULLY is the first feature documentary film to show how we’ve all been affected by bullying, whether we’ve been victims, perpetrators or stood silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground. BULLY opens on the first day of school. For the more than 13 million kids who’ll be bullied this year in the United States, it’s a day filled with more anxiety and foreboding than excitement. As the sun rises and school busses across the country overflow with backpacks, brass instruments and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, this is a ride into the unknown. For a lot of kids, the only thing that’s certain is that this year, like every other, bullying will be a big part of whatever meets them at their school’s front doors. Every school in the U.S. is grappling with bullying-each day more than 160,000 kids across the country are absent because they’re afraid of being bullied-but for many districts it’s just one more problem that gets swept under the rug. BULLY is a character-driven film. At its heart are those with the most at stake and whose stories each represent a different facet of this crisis. From the first day of school through the last, BULLY will intimately explore the lives of a few of the many courageous people bullying will touch this year.
