A documentary about social bullying - specifically how girls use their power to hurt each other - presented as films, a radio program and a website, with support material for parents and educators.
"It's a Girl's World" takes us inside the tumultous relationships of a clique of popular 10-year old girls. Playground bullying captured on camera shows a disturbing picture of how these girls use their closest friendships to hurt each other - with shunning, whispering and mean looks - to win social power in the group. By comparison, the tragic story of a 14 year-old girl who killed herself after enduring months of rumours and verbal threats is a stark reminder that social bullying can spiral out of control. This DVD shatters the myth that social bullying among girls is an acceptable part of growing up.
