Bullying is a very terrible and overwhelming experience for any person to experience.

Bullying is a growing issue in our society affecting many people. People do not realize the damage they are doing to people and their families.

Chris Crutcher wrote Whale Talk to show how bullying can dramatically hurt people by expressing acts of violence, using profanity and racial slurs.

Norden argues that the danger of these films portraying good and evil, heroes and villains, is not so much about the excessive violence that would create ‘a nation of Columbine killers’ (2007:90), but the ‘atrophying of the imagination of the young…and hopeful stories about the battle in the human soul between good and
