School Bullying is a serious matter, and a most painful thing for the victims, physically, and mentally.

Kel had to suffer from being bullied for a long time, but, albeit being in no position to match his torturer physically, and standing the slightest chance of winning this war by physical power, he maintained inner strength ... and he got extra support when it was needed the most .

Therefore, Kel was able to stand his ground, mustering all courage he had, and finally got rid of the bully, by the help from school authorities ...

... and by the brave support of his best friend.

Victims of bulling need our help. We may not look away. We may not turn a blind eye.

We are needed.

You are needed.

Be a bright spot in a dark place.

  • i saw the whole thing an i was crying ppl can b soo cruel

  • @saphirathesinger

    RONAN'S ESCAPE tells the story of what Bullying may lead to, No one deserves to go through all this. We need to be strong and not look away; we need to show compassion and support, and be there for victoms and stand up for them the very moment when Bullying happens. All of us need to do that. Then things can get better.

  • this guy and another girl came to our school and did a show about cyber bullying, it really opened my eyes to how it affects people an stuff. he is amazing!

  • @1animals12

    It's hard to really imagine + understand what bully victims go through (online + offline as well), unless you either know it from personal experience, or hear it from someone who is a victim - or from someone who really cares about the topic. It's so sad that we, in our modern world, need to deal with such a barbarian issue as bullying in the first place. But knowledge is power, and so educating people on bullying (in a movie, or at schools) offers a first chance to make a change.

  • @1animals12

    Heyy Tayla/Briana ;) hehe

  • @crystalpower08

    You are right, Crystal. Sadly, bullying is something that can hit anyone, boy or girl, at any time - and even adults. This is why it is so important that finally those who know about others being bullied, who become witnesses of someone being abused, or who are being asked for help, don't turn the blind eye, but stand up for the victims and help in any way they can. And the more will join in on this, the better it will work.

  • Yes, and girls get bullied too, including being bullied by boys.
