Based on the novel of the same name, A Walk to Rememberis a tear-jerker filled with love, loss, and hope.
When I found out that the book Speak (one of my most reread books) was adapted into a movie, I was intrigued.
While there is bullying in John Tucker Must Die, it still falls into the category of pure early 2000s gold.
Even though A Girl Like Hercoming out in 2015, the elements of bullying are still very much prevalent today.
If you’re looking for a movie that can be incredibly uncomfortable to watch at times, try the movie Thirteen.
Filled with nostalgia and mystery, Now and Thenis one of my go-to comfort movies whenever I’m having a hard time.
One of my favorite Disney movies, Tarzanis about standing out, learning to fit in, and falling in love.
The dad in Yours, Mine & Oursis definitely a hardass, and it can be hard to watch. Still, there is a touch of lightheartedness that comes with the rest of the film.
Bullying, trauma, andabuse are never easy to witness. But when you’ve experienced this pain throughout childhood, watching movies with this subject matter can be cathartic.
