Silent Secrets

Another short showing the horrors of school if a lad is different or presumed gay. It's everywhere. The school has clearly not stopped it and nor have the parents been informed.

There are two ways of dealing with this bullying. Turn on one of the bullies and hurt him badly - that's what I did and it all stopped. Or come out openly - a lad at school did this and directed school plays and musicals; his Noye's Fludde was fantastic. No one touched him once he was out.

Beau is lucky to have such a loyal and steadfast friend in Liam who's presumably straight.

The final scenes are an indication of the difficulties faced by some youths who've been subjected to abuse from schoolmates. And I imagine it's worse than in my day now that there is the internet and social media.

I enjoyed this film even though some of it was a bit overwrought. It filled a bit of time before going to bed.
