Juvenile and pandering

Im not one to particularly hate on films but this movie is so in your face with its message its insulting.

School bullying is never a thing to make fun of, but this movie has a terrible script. It grasps at every cliche in the book, the dialogue is terrible and the acting leaves much to be desired.

I wish a truly realistic movie on school bullies would come out. One where the victim isnt a chubby loser with glasses and the bully isnt just "misunderstood".

Sure, abusive parent can lead bullying but the way its handled here is so cliche and pedestrian you cant take the film seriously.

^^^^Yes! Completely forgot about that! Great film. Heartbreaking and very realistic. Well, I wish MORE truly realistic films about bullies would come out.

How about one on bullies that get their dog day back?
ha! Try 'The Burning' 'Prom Night' 'Terror Train' and another hundred others.
Makes it more interesting than bully stories will ever offer.
If you're one that's been on the receiving end, why the hell would you want to watch a realistic portrayal of something that goes on around you in every aspect of life?
It's not just a school issue, right?
My advise:
STAND UP AND FIGHT!!!!!!!!
