My group and I are currentlly in the process of making a short film about bullying and it surrounds a girl that had to deal with bullying in elementary school. This whole story is to show how she overcame every obstacle that came her way through that period in her life. So, we interviewed her and got everything that happened those years. When we finally got everything we needed to put into our short film's trailor, we started to get deeper and deeper into the whole topic. I think that's why now I feel so strongly against bullying.
Whenever I hear or see bullying happening, it gets me so mad. The thought of someone weaker and timid getting pushed around by someone bigger or stronger makes me think about my little sister getting push around. If she ever gets bullied, I would step in. I have never been pushed around because I know how to stand up for myself and fight.
I know I know how to stand up for myself, but some kids don't. So I did some research to find out why and I found this acticle - Why dont kids speak up to bullying. Most kids who are being bullied can't ask for help because they're too afraid. They want to get help from somebody, but sometimes they don't get help. Sometimes they do ask but no one who really cares helps them. The victims of bullies are most of the time weak, timid, and quiet, and thats why they need someone who will listen and who cares to make them stronger. They need someone to encourage them when they feel discouraged.
So now learning this new information, I will put this into my film by using captions to share the facts.
