If children are the ones who are going to benefit from this documentary then why put an R rating on the film. I think the film Bully should receive a PG rating. It is recommended in one of the articles that children under 16 go see the film with a trusted adult. I think it depends on your maturity levels and what you've been through but it should definitely be a "must see" film no matter what age you are. The trailer almost brought me to tears. Its so real that eliminating the language (the cause of the high rating) wouldn't make the film true. People need to see the real way bullies act. They need to see it from a victims point of view rather then sugar-coating it to make the bully look not so mean so that all ages can see the film. The main audience targeted in this film is young teenagers so they should be able to see the film without an adult.
It interests me how open and supportive Canadians are with letting their children watch the film because I think its the Americans they need to worry about. Yes, children in Canada get bullied but the film is based on American families, schools, bullies and victims. The U.S.A. has a higher crime rate so why are they trying so hard to make the rating of this film R when they need people to see the truth to prevent it from happening. Children are getting bullied so much that they're committing suicide, no child or family should have to go through that. Everyone has the right to live so what makes one person better then another.
