I have to disagree with the message of this film. While the acting is fairly good, the message is horrible. I have 5 children and I completely disagree with the sympathetic tone this movie takes for the bully. I don't care what family life she comes from, all children have choices. This wasn't minor bullying. This was 100's of texts and messages. It was a next level of bullying that there is no excuse for. All in all I found the film ridiculous and feel for educators. In the many schools I have been exposed to, not a single one would take these examples of bullying lightly. It seemed almost as though it was written by an adult who was previously a bully feeling guilty now and wanting sympathy, justification, and validation for their actions. It really kind of made me sick. All in all the bully is a just that... a bully. a little bitchy high school student who had the choice to ignore those she felt "below her", but instead chose to taunt them to literal death. Every child has choices. not every child chooses to target in such a malicious manor. I'm glad I didn't have my kids watch this. Cyberbully with Emily Osment would be a far better choice. FAR more realistic and relatable. Don't bother with this trash.
