This May Be The Most Powerful Anti-Bullying Video We've Ever Seen

I realize bullying has had some focus lately, and my intent is not to re-hash the topic ad infinitum. Something I did not realize, is that France has a problem with bullies in their schools...

School bullying is a widespread problem in France. According to figures released by the Ministry of National Education, 1.4 million of France's 12 million pupils are harassed -- thats more than one in 10 students.

The following video asks the question; "What if there was schoolyard bullying in the workplace?"

The caption at the end translates: "A day at work does not look like this. And a day at school?"

So what do you think, ATS? Does this video get its point across?

I don't care for it to be honest.

It is over the top and isn't close to any school (or work) scenarios I have seen.

I agree that it is a powerful piece. Change the graphic and it could be played in the states. Poster above is obviously a bully.

Excellent video.

That was a powerful and poignant look at what can happen when certain behaviors go unchecked and unmediated in the younger, more formative years.

Well said. Both of you. I personally thought the video did a good job of driving it home to adults. The question is, did it get the point across to the right adults? Thanks for the input.

To those who claim this video is unrealistic: grown ups just have better weapons and disguises. They have the experience to efficently commit acts that younger people haven't learned how to hide. Simply put, one word: discretion.
