What a load of TOSH!!!

Why not use the 'delete' button?

Another film featuring middle class actors and ignoring working class backgrounds.

Whilst 'bullying' isn't OK, there is also a lot of over-exaggerating by the middle class do-gooders.

To some, criticism of your work would constitute 'bullying'.

Too many kids are being raised to be weak-minded individuals these days. ( e.g. school sports days with NO losers. )

Bullying isn't a working class issue, it can affect anyone, regardless of class, race, ability, disability or personality. So the social class of the actors is irrelevant. We define bullying as a persistent deliberate attempt to hurt or humiliate someone. It almost always involves an inbalance of power and is not the victim's fault for being 'weak-minded'. Incidentally we had an audition process for picking the actors which would contradict your theory on raising weak-minded individuals.

This is a very well made short film, it's good to know that cyberbullying is being dealt with very firmly.

Thanks for the lovely comment on the Actionwork video. I devised and helped make it and it's always nice to hear good feedback! I like your video too, the cyberbullies are an effective concept :-)

We produced this for Anti-Bullying Week to highlight the effects of cyber-bullying and how it can isolate the victim. The authorities take it very seriously so the important thing is to tell an adult you trust - often people around you are unaware of what is going on.
