This one is a hard movie to watch. Any movie about teen suicide is. My heart breaks for the family. Unfortunately, the story was not told well. Could have been done better.
Moreover, Chance bullied Colton, committed suicide when he thought his gf found out it was him, and the victim. Colton, was blamed, BY ALL. It was completely glossed over the affect that had. I do not wish death, especially suicide, on anyone. This is a true story and we cannot change events, but it is unacceptable the fact that the victim of a bully who kills himself when caught, even though the victim tries to help and is unbelievably forgiving, is blamed and glossed over. There is no pointing out how that should NEVER be the case. Its ignored after the fact and we dont even get closure on how Colton is dealing. Its upsetting! I feel for the real Colton and what tremendous pain and trauma he has undoubtedly gone through without the same support the friends and family of Chance has.
Most importantly, parents, check in with your kids everyday. Find out what is going on in their lives. Check their phones! They wont tell us. I foudn myself yelling the whole movie, block them, do not respodn, tell your mom...they dont and won't. Bully or victim, we need to be aware and step in to prevent heartbreaking tragedies such as this.
