Calabasas High School community screening of the movie "Bully" to raise awareness against bullying

Peer Support is a program run by and designed for Calabasas High School students to offer support and guidance to their fellow peers. We strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for CHS students, additionally Peer Support runs the middle to high school transition program at CHS. Calabasas High School Peer Support hosts events during the year to help raise awareness regarding prevalent issues that affect students within our community. Peer Support, along with the Stand For The Silent Club at Calabasas High, is holding a community screening of the movie Bully on December 17th at 7 pm in the PAEC at Calabasas High School (admission is free).

All parents, students (grade 6 and above), and members of the community are invited to our movie screening. The film being shown at the community screening has been modified and is not the R-rated version. The film Bully follows five stories of children and families who are affected deeply by bullying within the course of a school year. With intimate glimpses into homes, classrooms, cafeterias, and principals’ offices, the film offers insight into the lives of bullied, ridiculed children. Historically, seemingly small instances of labeling and ridicule have catastrophic consequences for the marginalized groups involved. This film brings those “small” instances into the spotlight, creating a space to discuss the effects of bullying. CHS Peer Support aims to help create a bully-free environment both at Calabasas High and within our community. The first step to accomplish this goal is by making our community aware of the negative affects of bullying.
