More Peer Abuse.......

This movie was more classic Peer Abuse that kids live on a daily basis. The girl Krista stood up to the bullies who were members of the football team. However, cases like this are rare as over 98% of these incidents go unreported. Title IX is good, however, there needs to be firm laws enforced here as well (like in other forms of abuse). The movie was good and a good example of more Peer Abuse occuring before our eyes. Kudos to all involved!
