Over the years, my mother has talked to me about a majority of the social issues I could start potentially experiencing when I enter high school and beyond, such as bullying, abusive relationships, and peer pressure. And while my high school health teachers gave my fellow classmates and I a brief, but bland and nonchalant lecture or assembly about all of these issues, they’ve never been in depth enough or as impactful as they may have thought they were. I always left school after days like this with more curiosity than I had before. I wanted to see and hear about experiences and consequences that resulted from the roots of these issues.

With that being said, I wanted to do more research on these problems, and how they might look on a day to day basis. During my time reading up on these issues, I came across a few movies, some of which are based on true stories, that have such an authentic representation of everything I read about, and leave you feeling like there’s a rock in your chest days later.

Here are a list of 5 movies that I plan on showing my children one day when I need to have these uncomfortable, but important conversations with them.

1. “A Girl Like Her” (Bullying)
