We have either been bullied, watched someone else get bullied, or unfortunately bullied someone. The evil claws of bullying have torn kids' self esteem to shreds, even have killed some. In the documentary about bullying called "My Kid Would Never Bully", people can see the effects bullying has on all of its victims. In the documentary viewers can learn what parents often assume about their kids and bullying, how bullying by girls is different than bullying by guys, and how most bystanders react in a bullying situation.

This video is great for people of all ages to watch because it shows how bullying affects the victim and everybody else. Parents could learn to talk to their kids about bullying, bystanders could learn to speak up, and together everyone could put a stop to bullying.
