A Girl Like Her, an enticing movie about the harshness of teen bullying, premieres Friday, Mar. 27, 2015.

Director, writer, and actress, Amy S. Weber shows off her multiple talents in her 2015 documentary-like movie about the life of high schooler, Jessica Burns, and her struggle against Avery Keller, her bully. Interestingly, this movie is filmed in a variety of ways. The trailer itself shows the audience how Jessica Burns plants hidden cameras on herself with the help of her friend, Brian Slater, and records Avery’s multiple insults and threats. The movie also shows Avery talking directly to her webcam and arguing that she really is a “nice girl.”

With a young cast and intriguing plot, this movie has already sparked interest throughout social media. Marketed as “based on a million true stories,” hopefully this film will be able to open up the eyes of many high schoolers dealing with harassment in their daily lives, whether it be online, in their home, or in their school.

“I think that when you undergo any sort of bullying you feel really vulnerable and insecure, and the hardest thing to do is speak up for yourself and try to counter all this negativity you’re enduring undeservingly, because that’s what bullying is. So even though it can exist in countless forms that aren’t necessarily what’s depicted in the movie, if you see films like these the issue itself gains a lot more exposure and as a result becomes a more prominent social issue that more people are willing to combat,” said junior Valentina Wakeman.

The movie’s marketing team was also able to reach out to an abundance of teenage girls by partnering themselves with the social media app, Kik. An instant messaging service, Kik’s users are mostly young girls who upon seeing the propaganda for the movie could instantly click it and be directed to more information about the movie.

A much needed spotlight, A Girl Like Her takes away the glamor of high school and digs deep into problems that many teenagers face every day. Students will be able to reflect on their own community and maybe even begin to understand on a wider spectrum the cruelty of mocking other students.
