Bullying: You Don’t Have to Take It Anymore!

Bullying: You Don’t Have to Take It Anymore!

Interviews, dramatic scenes, and expert advice for adolescents — including the victim, the bully, and the bystander.

Hourglass Production’s film is described as taking the school bully on directly, and as a program designed so young viewers can demystify school and peer life.

It uses interviews with teenagers, dramatic scenarios, and expert advice, and it distinguishes how bullying affects boys and girls. It is not only about the victim and the bully; it addresses the bystander.

Dr. Michael Thompson, co-author of Raising Cain and Best Friends, Worst Enemies, said the film will “encourage and support those children who want to do something to stop bullying — and that is the vast majority of children.” He also called it “clear, straightforward, persuasively acted and … helpful to children.”

Silence will get you nowhere.
