Here Are The 15 Best Movies On Netflix About Bullying:
At some point as well as another, everyone has been bullied. There are two types of bullying: violent and slow. Physical violence is the most violent type of bullying. Slow and silent bullying is just as dangerous.
Bullying is a crime that most people don’t notice until it gets physical. People who are bullied start to feel guilty, which is very bad for their mental health.
