It's a Girl's World takes us inside the tumultuous relationships
of a clique of popular 10-year-old girls. The camera captures
a disturbing picture of how they use their friendships to
hurt -- with shunning, whispering and means looks -- in order
to gain social power. It's a Girl's World shatters the myth
that social bullying among girls is an acceptable part of
growing up. |

The "stick people" in this video are imaginary,
but this gritty tale is all too familiar. Like the dance beat
pulsating throughout the film, the bully's intimidation of
a smaller victim is unrelenting; no one stops the dance until
serious harm is inflicted. While the video offers no simple
solutions, it does compel viewers - teachers, parents and
children - to take stock of their actions and to find ways
to end peer abuse. |
