Le dernier film «Bully (Intimidation)» réalisé par Lee Hirsch est un documentaire ou «le moment est venu de s’exprimer». C'est un film provocateur et très important sur un sujet qui est en train de crée beaucoup de tumulte dans le monde entier. L'intimidation est un problème universel qui touché un grand nombre. L'intimidation peut se produire dans les écoles, au travail et même sur l’Internet (cyber intimidation). Elle transcende toutes les frontières, y compris géographique, raciale, ethnique et statut sociale. Ainsi, il peut avoir un effet dévastateur sur ceux qui en ont été victimes. Elle a mené beaucoup à s'isoler de la société du à la terreur d'être intimidé. Certains se suicident (appelé bullycide); d'autres deviennent des tyrans eux même ou se déchaîne violemment, habituellement pars la vengeance. Les victimes ont tendance à être exclus de la société, incapables de s’intégré, tandis que le tyran est souvent une personne anxieux, il se sent qu’il doit «prouver» quelque chose. Au fond le tyran se sent menacée par sa victime.
L'intimidation existe depuis le début de l'homme mais aujourd'hui du à les progrès technologiques dans les communications, les effets peuvent être plus dévastateurs souvent due a l'affichage sur les réseaux sociaux tels que Facebook et You Tube.
Ce documentaire très important, qui, à mon avis, devrait être visionnée par tous (malheureusement il a reçu un classement de ‘R’ au États-Unis, qui signifie que l'auditoire auquel elle est principalement dirigée, les jeunes moins de 17 ans ne sera pas admit pour le voir), suit les histoires de cinq élevés du secondaires qui sont (ou on été) des victimes d'intimidation, les effets sur eux même et sur leurs familles. Il documente également les réactions des professeurs, administrateurs, la police, la communauté et la société dans son ensemble. Il est temps de résisté et de décrier cette forme de violence et de réaliser que le cliché «les enfants seront les enfants» est dépassé, usé et carrément dangereux.

Les cinq histoires sont :
Alex 12 de Sioux City en Iowa, qui doit endurer les insultes, les malédictions et les menaces tout en voyageant dans le bus à et de l'école. Il dit à ses parents qu’ils sont ses amis et ils sont simplement «déconner» comme il est si désespéré pour s'intégrer.

Kelby 16 de Tuttle Oklahoma, qui, avec sa famille, a été traités comme un paria dans cette petite ville profondément dans la Bible Belt des États-Unis depuis qu’elle a admis qu’elle est gay. Elle a dû faire face à la haine non seulement de ses camarades de classe, mais aussi de ses professeurs. Ja'Meya 14 comté de Yazoo en Mississippi a dû endurer d'être harcelé chaque jour, le matin et l’après-midi sur le voyage de bus aller-retour de l'école d’une durée d’une heure. Le premier jour de septembre, elle avait eu assez. Ja'Meya, calme et modeste, a pris le pistolet de sa mère dans une tentative de faire peur a ceux qui la tourmentait. Elle a été en suite accusée de plusieurs d’infractions majeures.
David et Tina Long, comté de Murray en Géorgie, sont en deuil. Leur fils Tyler, âgé de 17 ans, s'est pendu après des années d’avoir endurer des comportements abusifs envers lui. Ils se sentent coupable à être incapables de le protéger et de colère envers le système scolaire qui a échoué lamentablement en lui offrant un refuge.
Après que Ty Smalley a l’âge de 11 ans s'est suicidé en raison de l'intimidation, ses parents, Kirk et Laura a lancé une organisation contre l'intimidation, appelée «Stand for the Silent.»
On a tous besoin de s'impliquer et de crier à haut voix «L'INTIMIDATION: IL FAUT C’ARRÊT».

The latest film “Bully” directed by Lee Hirsch is an 'it is time to speak out' documentary. It is a provocative and very important film about a subject that is currently creating a lot of uproar worldwide. Bullying is a universal problem that affects many. Bullying can occur in schools, at work and even on the Internet (cyber bullying). It transcends all borders including geographic, racial, ethnic and social standing. As well, it can have a devastating effect on those who have been victimized. It has led many to isolate themselves from society for fear of being bullied. Some commit suicide (called bullycide); others become bullies or lash out violently, usually out of vengeance. The victims tend to be social outcasts, unable to fit in, while the bully is often an insecure individual who feels he / she has to 'prove' something. Deep down the bully feels threatened by his / her victim.
Bullying has been around since the dawn of man but due to today's technological advances in communications the effects can be more devastating often due to postings on social networks such as Facebook and YouTube.
This very important documentary, which in my mind should be viewed by all (unfortunately it received an ‘R’ rating in the United States which means that the audience to which it is mainly directed, youth under 17 will not be able to see it), follows the stories of five high school students who are (or were) victims of bullying, the affect on themselves and their families. It also documents the responses of teachers, administrators, law enforcement, the community and society as a whole. It is time to stand up and decry this form of violence and realise that the cliché "kids will be kids" is passé, worn out and downright dangerous.

The five stories are:
Alex 12 from Sioux City Iowa, who must endure slurs, curses and threats while traveling on the bus to and from school. He tells his parents they are his friends and that they are just ‘messing around’ as he is so desperate to fit in.

Alex

Kelby 16 from Tuttle Oklahoma, who along with her family, has been treated as a pariah in this small town deep in the bible belt of the United States since she has admitted that she is gay. She has had to face hatred not only from her classmates but from her teachers as well.
Ja’Meya 14 from Yazoo County Mississippi had to endure being picked on every day, morning and afternoon on the one hour bus ride to and from school. On the first day of September she had had enough. The quiet and unassuming Ja’Meya took her mother’s handgun in an attempt to scare those who were tormenting her. She was subsequently charged with multiple felonies.
David and Tina Long, of Murray County Georgia, are grieving. Their 17-year-old son Tyler hanged himself after years of enduring abusive behaviour towards him. They feel guilt at being unable to protect and anger towards the schooling system that failed miserably in providing him with a safe haven.
After 11-year-old Ty Smalley committed suicide due to bullying, his parents Kirk and Laura launched an anti-bullying organization called “Stand for the Silent.”
We all need to get involved and shout out loud “BULLYING HAS TO STOP.”

Nature Poetry

by Nancy Snipper

Val des Mont Trees
(Tiny, tall tree trunks, lakes and leaves)

So many trees 

So many leaves
So much to see

How to comprehend

such fragile beauty?

In rhythmic flows
so nature goes...
Perfect pacing

of patterned placing

DEW

the silken dew of the morning rise

opens its mouth to slumber not
in death nor with disguise

Little Loon

Little loon floating by
I know why you cannot fly

to lofty skies and bay-lined shores.

What was there is no more.

Callous change now mars your land…

putrid tar and murky sand

                                                        Lily Pad Lady

Looking down upon the water

I see them sitting pretty.

Petals of lilies poking up

from green pads

that look like regal wreaths. 

fanning charmingly underneath.

Each lovely little lady

Rising demurely from her skirt,

Is no doubt a floral flirt

that some mistake as a gift to take

from their home in the lake.

So as your canoe is gliding through,  

and you reach down

to pick it from its pad,

Remember that this lily lady

might feel a little sad.
 

  

The Forest Fire 

                

The fire rose to the mountain top

Killing every tree.

Although it traveled very slow,

It seemed to come to me.

Red streaks of fire flew through the skies

Making the rooftop grey,

It scorched the forest before my eyes,

And death within me lay.

I ran to my house

My belongings I grabbed

And very nervously prayed,

Then jumped on my horse

And sped away;

But my fear will never fade.

MAN KILLS!

Man kills the animal with ruthless heart

For reasons none do know.

Perhaps he likes to see things die

And make all living low.

See the snake glide swiftly past.

Bang! Man shot him sure and fast.

Or the deer that nature fills

This impulse inside Man that kills.

Man kills the animal with ruthless heart

Now down the prey does fall,

He buries it after the killing is done

And thinks with his heart?

Not at all!

Man kills the animal with ruthless heart

For reasons none do know.

The prey, the blood, he likes to see

But this desire is not in me.

                                          Winter is Here

Into the forest I wanted to go,

But a bird told me no;

  “The forest green, her trees and snow,                     

This my  dear you will never know.

My home is dark, soft and sweet;

Yours is hard, firm… the street.

 How could you dare?

 How could you think?

 That these two twains could ever meet?”

That truth indeed was hard to take.

Perhaps she made a slight mistake.

So on I walked just the same

until the ground beneath my feet

Gave way to me in snow knee-deep!

So sad I grew and walked some more,

Until I reached my painted door.

“Into the warmth at last”, I thought,

I found my bed, the one I bought.

Content and smiling, not one tiny care,

 That bird so safe; me in my place 

Still …..

some day we two shall share. 

 

                  

It is a snowy day

Where lay the heavens?  Where was the ground? 

I really could not tell.  

The woolly snow that comes from high

To nestle low,

      I saw not where it fell.  

The sky,

The earth,

Both were one... 

How strange it is to see no sun.

The hugest force in the world

is gravity’s pull,

Yet, the weightless wings of a tiny fly

 It can gravity defy.

No, is that not a miracle?!
