Bullying and Peer Pressure

intimidation About a week ago I was assigned a film project on strong-arm and peer pressure. What my group did was a recr play oution of the breakfast club. Although Ive never seen the movie I was very excited to start. The project really did help me light upon the harmful effects of bullying and peer pressure. One part that showed me about bullying is when one of the main characters, Sophia, confesses to the group that she told everyone about a girls crush through Instagram. That scene made me reflect on how cyber bulling can really hurt a person.A part that showed me about peer pressure is when the character, Marcus, convinces the kids to eat illegal candy. This project was not only a fun experience but was also a way for me to better understand the effects that bullying can have on a person. Bullying is a serious offense affecting many kids.
