I remember a whole series of safety films that they used to show when I was at school.. including the ones about not playing on railways, that one with the kid with tourettes, and im sure there were bullying ones in there as well. Honestly, I dont think they were all that effective, so I fail to see how they would help much now.
Its like smoking.. people seem to assume that smokers dont know their habit is bad for them. Likewise, I'm sure "bullies" are well aware of the nasty nature of their activities, so it has little effect showing them how nasty it is. And the kids who are being bullied already KNOW what its like.. they dont need telling. Bout the only people who need to know the details are those supposed to prevent it, and despite the technological advances, the nature of bullying has been exactly the same for .. ever. IF people cant recognise it now, they probably never will.
