Seriously this is why I can't stand being a boy anymore. I mean, yeah girls get bullied too but not as bad as boys otherwise it would be shown on TV and movies more often. But seriously thank God for reincarnation because I'm coming back as a girl!
shareok.
shareThe hero is a boy...
That's your problem, welcome to Philly.

But seriously thank God for reincarnationI am stuck on which markup I should use. ,, or.
wtf are you talking about? You make me ashamed to be a boy!
shareI believe he is talking about the general mean spiritness of boys, and all the crap that comes with it. I get it to a point. The non-stop competiveness, one upsmanship, manipulation, etc. I have almost zero male friends because of character/integrity issues. Males, especially US males (and many females as well) tend to have integrity of convenience.
shareI don't think the movie is the reason
shareLol what? Girls get bullied too dude and just as bad if not worse.
shareOnly in films like Carrie would that statement actually apply; and no, Mean Girls doesn't count.
Carrie getting drenched in pig's blood would be on par with Henry Bowers attempting to carve his name into Ben's stomach. Also, a bully carving his name into another boy's stomach is on a whole other level than a bully outright causing someone to fall on their knife and die from the stab wound. At least Ben survived.
The ending to Pay It Forward tried to go the "Stephen King" route by having the cookie cutter 1-dimensional bullies resort to murder, rather or not it was their intention to do so. Just 10 years before Pay It Forward, the IT miniseries tried to go over the top with a knife wielding bully, but that actually worked since IT is a horror movie. Pay It Forward is not a horror movie and that's why the ending epically fails on so many levels!
