This Poignant Anti-Bullying Film Was Created by a 13-Year-Old Boy From Ireland

Turning a bad experience into an empowering message

Online bullying leaves real scars, argues a compelling short video from one young victim.

Luke Culhane, a 13-year-old from Ireland, produced, edited and stars in the two-and-a-half minute film. In it, he receives verbal insults on platforms like WhatsApp, Google Hangouts and Snapchat. After each one, he is afflicted with a new physical injury—a bloody nose, black eye and a broken arm—that appears as if by some kind of sick magic. 

It's a simple, effective way to illustrate the point, which he also spells out with written messages (and creative approaches to typography).
