Hmm, I don't recall seeing a documentary about bullying in the past 10 years. That might've been one made already but I'm not sure... :/

Aw... why the long face? :3
Well this one is, so far, the most recent and has taken a more in-depth look into the matter. IT's been showcased in independent film festivals before, but this will be the first time it'll hit the public. I want to watch this because the film really speaks to me as I had been a victim of bullying when I was a kid and I know that the U.S. is plagued by the bullying problem. It infuriates me that our own people turn a blind eye or a cheek to the issue, or simply brush it off with a "kids will be kids." No. It had gone on for too long. People say we need to toughen up or that there will always be adults to help us. I was lucky that I had classmates who supported me, but I know not everyone had that same blessing. Kids shun others or adults have no knowledge or experience in dealing with bullying. Parents are also in the same situation or, at time, are abusive and uncaring for the welfare of their children.
It's also hard to believe it, but children are just as capable of great cruelty as adults. He just think, in our little delusional state, that children are pure and innocent.
I will be watching this movie and I hope that this will raise awareness much more than ever before in history.

I never meant for it to be a long face. I should have added a question mark after lol
Yeah, I've been picked on more times than I can count. Funny part is that my violence level spiked up a few notches over the past few years. At my current command I'm still dicked around a little bit, but I also give them shit if the situation warrants it.
If people were watching the movie I have no doubts that it'll raise awareness. The big million dollar question is are people going to do anything about it? Americans in general are already slovenly and lazy enough as it is.

Ah, I see.
Sorry I took so long to reply. DX
Oh dear... why? O.o *tries to help you calm down*
Ah, yes. Our country is notorious for it's stagnation. You're right, that is indeed the million dollar question. Will anyone even raise a finger? To me, I don't think so. I think the reason why is that people here have lived for too long in comfort and, well, our European neighbors have dealt with more issues than us and they're used to it since their continent is rich in conflict of the past that is still fresh? And what about the U.S.? Probably have done too good of a job to the point everyone here has grown arrogant and snobby.

Sorry it took long to reply.
It's because the people at my command are assholes and pretty much the whole work environment is corrosive to the point where it screws with everybody.
I wanted to watch a movie called Carnage, which essentially involves two pairs of parents 'talking over' an issue with their children; where one is a bully and the other's the recipient. It stars Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and Rachel Weiz. Forgot who the other dude is but he's from Step Brothers with Will Farrell.

It's fine. ^^
Wow, that is not a good work environment. D: Is it like that in the Navy or in the military in general?
Sounds interesting, let me check it up. :3
Oh wow! I think I'm hooked! *w*
Hehehe... let me see if I can nab us a link to it on the Internet. >D

Well, just this ship in particular since we're all male and the op tempo is high.
Yeah, I managed to watch part of it at home so far.

Men, who are straight, say that women are good for nothing obviously has not met a women. That or he's just coincidentally met them them at their lowest. XD
No sexism as women are just as capable of men to perform certain jobs and actions, just the slight physiological differences such as upper body strength.

Depends on the dude. If he's married then he's got personal issues he needs to resolve on his own with his lady.
