Bullying is the most frequently occurring form of violence in schools. Bullying by, and against, girls is as commonplace as it is among boys, but often takes different forms. Girls are usually less physical than boys - their bullying is far more commonly psychological and emotional. However, the effects can be seriously damaging - in the worst case scenarios leading to long-lasting depression, self-harm and even suicide. This program examines the nature of bullying, bullying directed at girls, its impact, why bullies behave the way they do and protective strategies for girls and bullying. It features renown adolescent psychologist, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, as well as dramatised scenarios and vox pops. This program makes a valuable resource to deliver some important messages about this serious issue.

Bullying is an ever-growing problem in our schools. Meet children who bully and the parents and teachers working to keep schools safe from the viciousness of bullies. We will take a look at some of the faces of bullying and how it effects both the victims and the bullies themselves.
Gossip, whispers, nasty looks, shunning--what some girls do best. Usually when bullying is mentioned, we think straightaway of boys and their intimidation and physical violence. However, we know that girls do more than their fair share of bullying as well and sometimes it can be much more hurtful and demeaning of both parties. In this program we look at how girls bully, why they do it and how it can be dealt with successfully and brought under control. We also address how the person being bullied can deal with it.

Jessica picks on Abby, putting down her drawings on the mural they are working on with another girl. Abby's mom helps her learn: Don't let yourself be pushed around by a bully. Do stand up for yourself. Do use your words. Do look confident. Do practice what you're going to say.

When Michael resists letting Sam and James take his brand-new remote control car, they wrestle it away from him.

This powerful documentary looks at the significant psychological and physical implications of bullying, and profiles the way two schools are dealing with this difficult and pervasive problem. First, several students, parents and community members in a Manitoba town who, despite the threat of a community backlash, publicly voice their concerns about the bullying in their schools, and participate in candid and emotional discussions about the problem and its effects. In interviews with school administration, the reluctance to acknowledge and address the issue is evident. Next, we visit an elementary school in B.C. that has successfully implemented a zero tolerance policy toward bullying; how the principal and teachers deal with the behaviour is presented. Following the documentary, experts discuss bullying in interview segments interspersed with personal testimonies from bullies and victims of bullying. A sixmonth update on the Manitoba community concludes the documentary revealing some dramatic changes for both the victims and the community. Length:

This story concerns a terrifying ritual that at one time or another becomes reality in the life of so many Canadian youngsters - bullying.

The summer before his first year of high school, when this secret shame became too much to bear, Wesley turned to what he saw as his only way out: suicide. A noted psychologist elaborates on the all too pervasive, often overlooked and seriously harmful behaviour of bullying.
