Teen Truth: An Inside Look at Bullying and School Violence (2006)
Big Impact.
I am teacher from a Middle School in Stockton, California and we recently showed the Teen Truth: Bully film to 850 seventh and eighth graders. This is a powerful film that has our whole faculty and student body buzzing and is something that every student and teacher should see.
Created with the help of teens, it focuses on all of the everyday stressful issues that confront teenagers and how these issues can build to a violent reaction if they are not addressed. Too often psychologists and by-the-book experts try to over analyze the reasons why these violent acts happen when the answer is in our youth. We just need to listen. Teen Truth asks the hard questions and the teens rise to the occasion and tell the truth.
In addition to raising the issues, Teen Truth: Bully provides a realistic result of what might happen if the pressing issues are not resolved. Experienced educators, counselors and a psychologist validate the candid student responses and provide effective solutions to helping students cope with their problems.
We completed surveys after the film and our students rated this film a 10 out of a possibly 10. So I am writing this review for my class and give Teen Truth a 10. Thank you for making this film.
