Another thought. Our 8th grade teachers are using a UnitedStreaming
video, if you have access to UnitedStreaming. The name of it is Welcome
back Devon. Good luck.

Here are some great suggestions for movies dealing with bullying!
Thanks for these wonderful suggestions!
Toby
How about Odd Girl Out. It's based on a non-fiction book by Rachel
Simmons but it's a dramatic version of the book. The Lifetime movie is
on DVD with the girl from Spy Kids (Alexa Vega). Based on the book by
Rachel Simmons, it’s a great story about dealing with the pressures of
high school, cyberbulling and verbal abuse
3 films come to mind. The first is Angus, which is based on Chris
Crutcher's short story. Here's more info on that:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112368/
The other is called Bully; it's more adult but really good.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0242193/
And if you want to go real young and basic, there's The Ant Bully,
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429589/
Invisible Shadow by Roz Monette deals with bullying. It's a book, not
a video.
Bang, Bang You're Dead is a movie I never heard of, so I'm guessing
it's an indie. It really gets inside what the bullied feel. Just a bit
"oh sure!" at the end when the bullies are suddenly realizing the error
of their ways--but the powerhouse performance by Ben Foster makes up for
that. I just want to agree with Bang, Bang You're Dead.
I really loved this
movie -- and it focuses on the potential for
school violence.
The oldie School Ties (??) Brenden Frasier as the only Jew in a high
society New England school on football scholarship in the 50's works
pretty well too. Early performances by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck when
they were just pups.
