Documentary Audrie & Daisy

 Audrie & Daisy is a powerful and deeply unsettling documentary that follows the real-life stories of Audrie Pott and Daisy Coleman, two teenage girls who were victims of sexual assault and later subjected to relentless cyberbullying. After images and details of their assaults were shared on social media, both girls faced intense public shaming, online harassment, and isolation from their communities. The emotional toll was devastating, leading to tragic consequences.

The film reveals how cyberbullying can act as an extension of physical abuse, compounding the trauma and making it impossible for victims to heal. It also shines a harsh light on the systemic failures of schools, law enforcement, and society at large—institutions that often downplay or ignore the suffering of young women in cases of sexual violence. Through interviews and raw footage, Audrie & Daisy illustrates the frightening speed at which digital cruelty spreads and how social media can become a weapon that destroys lives.

This documentary is both heartbreaking and necessary. It serves as a stark warning about the dangers of digital harassment and the urgent need to address how we respond to both bullying and sexual assault in a hyperconnected world. I highly recommend it.

Gender Differences in Bullying

  Gender Differences in Bullying Bullying is a serious problem that happens in many places with children and teenagers like in school in sports and in summer camps I work as a coach and monitor with boys and girls in these kinds of spaces so this topic is important to me One thing that I see often is that bullying is not always the same for boys and girls boys usually show more physical bullying like hitting pushing or shouting girls usually use more relational bullying like ignoring others spreading lies or leaving someone out of the group this is something that many studies say too For example a study by Villardón Gallego et al says that boys are more likely to be involved in direct and physical bullying while girls show more indirect forms like social exclusion or emotional pressure (Villardón Gallego et al 2021) this means that sometimes bullying by girls is harder to see but it can hurt just as much Also according to the International Journal of Environmental Research an...

Audrie and Daisy (my opinions and way of thinking about it)

In this blog post, I brought you a documentary film mostly about 2 girls, Audrie and Daisy who had been sexually assaulted while being filmed and then cyberbullied. Audrie committed suicide in 2012 after all the things and the case happened to her. Daisy also tried to end her life by suicide multiple times right after the sexual crime and cyberbullying, but she was saved by her family every time (unfortunately in 2020, her attempt was fatal).    In the whole documentary we can meet both girls’ family and friends, talking about the things happened, which gives us a more emotional and devastating way of understanding what a sexual assault and cyberbullying can do to one person.   I do not want to give you spoilers or tell you the whole story; therefore, I would like to end my description here and truly advise you to watch it.     According to the World Health Organization, around 1 in 6 adolescents experience cyberbullying day by day and surprisingly and dev...

New Definition of Bullying

 Hi everyone! The World Anti-Bullying Forum, together with UNESCO, created a Working group for establishing a new definition of school bullying. Its new definition keeps the idea that bullying requires unwanted repetitive aggressiveness and imbalance of power, and adds the idea that this power imbalance is supported by societal and institutional norms. The emphasis is now in the idea that bullying is not an affair among students but a social process. The new definition is this one: School bullying is a damaging social process that is characterized by an imbalance of power driven by social (societal) and institutional norms. It is often repeated and manifests as unwanted interpersonal behaviour among students or school personnel that causes physical, social, and emotional harm to the targeted individuals or groups, and the wider school community. You can find the document where it is explained  here . Fes
