Bully

The Bully Project is a 2011 documentary film that documents the lives of five students who face bullying on a daily basis in U.S. schools. It follows David Long, the father of Tyler, who shares his son's struggles with autism and how it made him a target for bullying; Alex Libby, a 12-year-old boy with autism who faces violent threats on his bus; Kelby Johnson, a 16-year-old lesbian who was bullied and harassed by her peers and teachers; Ja'Meya Jackson, a 14-year-old honor student who was repeatedly harassed and responded with violence; and Ty Smalley, a 11-year-old boy who was bullied to death. The film explores how the average American student cannot defend themselves against ridicule and highlights the need for change in the way schools approach bullying.
