Not One of Us (Different Is Weird)
I wanted to do a short film about bullying... a HUGE problem. I know. I'm a 14yo 8th-grader. I live in a small town that likes to think of itself as being 'family friendly' and 'different than the big cities of NY and LA'. But, people are people...and bullying is bullying. What I learned in doing this film is that there are two main forms of bullying--aggressive or active (obvious) and passive. I chose to make this film about passive bullying because not only is passive bullying harder to prove, it may be even more dangerous than obvious bullying.. Obvious bullying has behavior that can be addressed because the bullying is usually seen and/or heard... not so with the silent, unseen nature of passive bullying.
