So I just got finished watching Cyberbully with Emily Osment in it.

It is a movie that shows a teenage girl and her three best friends get involved in an online site that's like Myspace or Facebook, Cliquesters. When Emily's character, Taylor Hillridge, gets her first account she starts talking to boys and one of them turns on her and posts that he slept with her and that she gave him an STD. Everyone on the internet from her school begins to taunt her and call her dirty names. It proggessively gets worse and her two friends don't want to hang out with her anymore because people start picking on them for it. It all becomes to much for Taylor after three of the school;s popular girls post a video that depicts a pregnant Taylor, "workin her corner" and asking if she can PAY a guy to have him sleep with her!

She makes a video called, "The Real Taylor Hillridge" and posts,
Quote:
I'm the real Taylor Hillridge. I don't know why everybody hates me so much. But maybe I do. Because now I hate me too. Right now, I don't really see the reason for trying, or for talking, or for breathing. I'm just done. So that's it I guess. Bye.


After that she tries to commit suicide by overdosing on pills but her best friend, after seeing the video she posted went to her house and stopped her. Her mom and little brother got there also to see Taylor and her friend wrestling over the pill bottle.

Taylor is kept away from school for a week and takes counceling classes where she learns that she isn't the only one with cyberbully problems and soon she stands up to everyone who hurt her.

Eventually her friendship with her two best friends is restored, and she gets a guy. It's a really great movie about friendship, internet safetey, kindness, forgiveness and of course, cyberbullying.

Since we are on an online site, I wanted to point out that we should all be careful with what we say to people on here, whether it comes to giving out information about ourselves, making new friends with people we don't really know, or when talking to others. We don't want to get hurt, and we especially shouldn't hurt anyone else.

Our words have more power than we know.

Check out the movie, it is really good and it's on instant play on Netflix. Let me know what you think about it or discuss cyberbullying problems, feel free to pm me about them and I will talk with you. My sister and I have experienced a lot of that. I would love to listen or help.

I have seen this movie before. And it is very true what this movie is about. Cyberbullying is like normal bullying and no person should go thru with it. I had problems with bullying when I was in junior high and highschool. It hurts..there was days I wanted to kill myself. I drew back myself and never really had any friends cause they always turn on me. So I was an outcast. Because I wasn't pretty enought..smart enought...or anything else. People treated me like trash. I guess thats what explains about me having depression. And a failed marriage. I just lost trust in people the only people I trust is family. Now I'm closed in and shy but I do hope that will change next year...but I do admit I am nervous...cause I don't know what they will say about me or infact if they will like me because I am going as myself..and well..some people don't like that.

I saw it when it originally premiered aired on ABC family, I think it was. And I really loved it. I thought it was a really accurate way to portray teens and how the internet can negatively affect us. I really liked Emily Osment as this character. Previously I had only know her from Disney's Hannah Montana, so it was nice to see her as a more adult and serious role. I liked the whole plot. Personally I have experienced little to no cyber attacks, only small subtweeting fights on twitter, nothing too harmful or personal, but I have seen people who have gone through it and it really shows how easily things can get out of hand online.
