Cyberbully
 

It's a movie, just came out here in the states. I'm 3/4 through it now, its been really good. In general about a girl who gets bullied online and it got so bad she tried to kill herself. It got me thinking, the girl in this movie has/had a reason to want to kill herself. And here I am, nothing remotely wrong with me and I've wanted to kill myself...messed up?

I watched this last night, it was really emotional but such a good film

I might have a look for it. Breathe Me by Sia is in it apparently. To debra, I don't have reasons either but we can't help how we feel. Don't make yourself feel worse by comparing.

I watched it the other night, it was ok.
The part where she makes the suicide video and tries to kill herself was very powerful, but the rest of the movie was only ok.

I've just watched it and really liked it - but then again, I always like films like that :)

I can't find it anywhere. (anywhere being amazon)
There's a film like this called Chatroom, there was a thread about it a while ago.

hmm, it just was shown on tv for the first time a week ago, so i dont think amazon would have it just yet. hopefully soon though, cause it was a really good movie!

I watched this too and the suicide scene was really touching... got me crying when had the bottle of pills..... but as far as the rest of the film goes I found it kind of.. unrealistic. Yes, cyberbullying is a hugeee problem and does often lead to depression or suicide... But I couldn't exactly take the rest of it seriously. She kept refusing to close her account and had a mini-breakdown after every little thing someone posted... she could have just said she was hacked and left it at that... she made it a big deal though. In no way am I saying it was her fault.. I just think she blew it out of proportion in the beginning way before it was even something to worry about...

The ending was also... incrediblyyyy unrealistic. I did not like the last scene in the cafeteria. Especially after everything he did to her... (being vague to avoid spoilers obviously..) Still though, kudos for the suicide scene... that definitely got to me.....

Another great movie... Trust.
Triggering for Sexual Abuse though.

that was a great movie!!

Sometimes peple keep the account open cause... dont really know the reason why but its like to see who all would respond and say what. especially friends. it hurts to hear those things but its real. had a friend who was cyberbullied and took couple months for her to shut it down. Bt yes kudos to almost suicide scene. anyone know when coming back on? or was it just one time thing? like movie or an episode?

The end of the movie..where they're all like "Oh my god, stop attacking people, it hurts lolz!" WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. This is NOT realistic. O_O I get the whole cyber bullying thing really happens and this is just a film, therefore can't be 100% realistic, but honestly.

America, why do you insist on a room full of people clapping when the main character (usually a victim in some way during the film) sticks up for themselves or whatever at the end? It makes me cringe.

^ I totally agree with the end sceen. It would most definetly never happen, but what ev, was a good movie overall. Nice to see her in something non-hannah-montana(:

It was ok, but very lol at times. I mean why do these people not just block them or at least what i couldn't get is why they where friends on her account in the first place??

And the hissy fits as well after a few comments was over the top.

Good film but the cheese was a bit much at times, especially the end scene, I cringed.

When you know that someone is writing all this crap about you for all the world to see then you do kind of have this feeling of needing to know, so that you know what you need to defend yourself against. I mean even if you block them they are still saying this *****. When my ex and my ex's friend were dissing me online it took me time to block them because I knew that this **** was circulating around people whose opinions I cared about. And you can have people you trust on your account and then they turn on you, as that Samantha girl did in the film and as my ex of 6 months and her friend did to me. I think it's a bit of a judgemental attitude to say 'oh why don't they just block it' or 'they overreacted'. Words hurt, online or not. I agree it is wiser and more healthy to bounce back and not let it get to you but not everybody can do that.
