    Watch Worthy Today & Tomorrow

    If you are a parent of a child in today's society over the age of 40 this segment is like a "today" version of the after school specials that we watched regarding subjects they were afraid to discuss when we were in school but better.

    If you're a young parent you may feel relieved that "someone" is bold enough to tell the truth, and you already know how real this is and how it exists in school whether you were bullied or a bully. If you're a school administrator or teacher it may remind you that you are a part of the problem and/or solution. If you're presently being bullied; hopefully, this will give you the strength to talk to someone. If you're a bully cognizant of your actions hopefully this will show you the view of what your actions look like from the other side. In any event of what brings you to decide to watch this, I do believe this short film will inspire you to be active, aware, relative, honest, accountable, and supportive in whichever direction you walk. After you watch it, you'll see why I didn't give it a ten; but, I don't want this rating to be a spoiler so just watch for yourself and see how you relate to "THE" girl like her.

    Powerful, if somewhat flawed

    Saw this movie by chance - was looking for something to watch, opened up Netflix, and it was on the main screen as a suggested title. With a cast of mostly unknowns, I wasn't expecting much. But I was surprised.

    The acting was mostly very good. Lexi Ainsworth was very believable as the bullied Jessica. I cried along with her, as someone who was also bullied in high school. (To a lesser extent, and before cell phones and social media were really a thing yet.)

    For the most part, the story was believable and moving. My only problem with it was that it reinforces the false assumption that bullies usually have a difficult home life. This was the kind of information that was generally believed to be true back when I was in school (graduated high school in 2002), but we know a lot more today. Most bullies come from good families and have good lives.

    By the end of the film, I felt like we were supposed to feel a certain amount of sympathy for Avery. But despite how things were portrayed - her life was really not that bad at all. I felt that a lot of things were exaggerated.

    Avery wasn't bullying Jessica because her parents fought sometimes and her mom was a little controlling, she was bullying Jessica because she was a cruel, mean, heartless, narcissistic brat. No one with a conscience could treat another person that way. Period. No sympathy for bullies.

    Should be required viewing for School kids.

    Really this is quite powerful and if it were compulsory viewing for school children I'm sure in those schools where it was shown bullying would reduce. Not sure at which age would be ideal for the viewing.

    Perhaps experts in psychology could figure this out. Probably look at the stats on what particular age group experiences the increase in bullying and go from there.

    Parents need to watch it as well, though it is more difficult to make it compulsory for parents.

    Well made, strong message, solid acting and an ethically important work. Well done to all those involved and I hope those that are the victims in real life get some betterment out of this.

    Thanks for the learning experience.

    The message was loud and clear!

    It was an interesting take on the subject of Bullying.

    After Jessica Burns' attempted suicide, A film crew doing a documentary on her school, begins to focus on what made her do it and the the fingers point to Avery Keller, a popular sophomore who for some reason made Jessica her victim, the documentary then takes a look at the life of Avery Keller to see what makes her tick.

    The movie pushed all the right buttons for me, I felt it was evenly laid out as we got to see what Jessica is going through which is the more favorable issue, but we also got to see where Avery was coming from. The movie does not attempt to sugar coat her villainy, but we all needed to know what was fueling the fire in order to understand it.

    Not bad

    Monsters at school

    I attended a Catholic school and was bullied by a gang of girls for 6 years in elementary school.. Punched, pushed, kicked in the school yard in an all nun school in the 1960's. How the nuns didn't know what was going on amazes me now at 60! I look back and call them monsters, they should be outed by everyone, end the snitch stigma related by gangsta's, and show this film in every middle and high school. No one should be tormented by these monsters daily, if you see something, say something should be the tag line in our schools! Apologies, sorry are all too late for many of us, and how we can tolerate this behavior ...just shocking!
