For The Birds: Bullying And Its Consequences

The short film, For the Birds, represents bullying and its consequences. The plot of the story gives the viewer the chance to take away a very important message from a funny kid’s film. The film presents its message in a way that is easy to understand because it was meant for adolescent viewers. Whether young or old, For the Birds sends all viewers the same message. It happens every day; a group of people gang up on another person, just like the characters in For the Birds. This concept is a very important item to discuss because bullying happens all the time. Bullying is part of everyday life, there are different forms of it all around us; it is seen every day. Some people are constantly bullied throughout their life. Being bullied is not correct in any way. In some cases of bullying people have ended their own lives because of other people’s tormenting. Other cases are not as extreme, but nevertheless
One of the ways that the producers made the film fun and easy for all ages to understand, was they used little, fuzzy, blue birds to act out the story. The bird’s actions and expressions made it easy to understand that they were not very nice. The ending revealed the true intentions of the film. It describes very clearly how bullying happens and what the consequences are. The consequences of the birds were that they all got flung off the wire and lost all of their feathers, because of their actions toward the friendly bird that they did not like. I enjoyed watching is as well as learning from it. I learned that by treating others poorly, you put yourself at risk for something unpleasant to happen to you as well. All of the things that happen to bullies in return could all be avoided if they would act like civil people. There is no need to be penurious toward somebody for no real reason, just to amuse yourself; there are so many better ways to spend your time than by bullying
