It's about bullying that takes place in three Places: Murray county, Georgia , Tuttle, Oklahoma. and Sioux City Iowa around the Three people. Tyler, Alex and Kelbi. You can watch it on Netflix.
Tyler, from Murray County Georgia. Was a happy kid, had an infectious laugh, but had a habit of being a loner. which made him a target for bullies. One point he cried and then that stopped. One day when he was 17 he left a video for his sister Teryn that what anyone says doesn't matter, and he hung himself. Thats how David and Troy found him. He couldn't take any more. Alex, age 12 of Sioux City Iowa, lives with Ruthie his sister and Ethan his youngest brother. Father David and Mother Tyler has to deal with bullying at the stop where he gets picked up, on the bus, and in the school itself. In Tuttle Oklahoma.
Theres a lesbian girl named Kelbi aged 16. She's not welcome in church or other peoples homes. Anyone hanging out with her is assumed to be like her. Kelbi was purposely run into with a minivan when she just wanted a ride. They even talked about burning her with her present, and when they saw they were hurting her kept on doing it. She learned early on that anyone who was different in bible belt Oklahoma would be put down. Makes me ashamed to be a christain
b. At first I was shocked and then got very angry with the treatment of the kids in this movie, that it can happen in a place called learning. When I was going to school it wasn't this bad. There was teasing and some bullying. But never at the level and viciousness, and the poisonous words coming from the kids who were doing the bullying. I was wondering "where are the adults? Have we gotten so politically correct that we cant' make a stand without it hurting our reputation. I've heard say that the only thing for evil to triumph is for good to stand by and do nothing. It's time to make a stand.
c.I'd say if affects them socially psychologically and intellectually. They're isolated. It's psychologically draining, and it affects the learning process. Who wants to learn in a hostile environment?from IAN research Report Bullying/Ian Research Reports/Interactive
d. Parents should take an active response to what is going on with the schools. Bus drivers should no longer be bystanders. Problem children (those that bully or abuse others because they're bored, and don't' have a healthy way of dealing with their problems). And there should be no children who are loners all the time. They need other kids who look out for them.
