The problem of bullying in the schools has received heightened attention because of the recent spate of suicides brought on by bullying of gay teens or those who have been perceived as gay. The chapter will be showing the film Bullied, which is a documentary that chronicles one student’s ordeal at the hands of anti-gay bullies and offers an inspiring message of hope to those fighting harassment today.
