Groups, cliques, tribes; call them what you like they have always been at the centre of school life. This programme follows the fall out of a chance clash between the queen bee of the 'cool group' and a member of the quieter crowd. In their quest to prepare every student for life beyond the school gates Mr Mitchell and his team are left with difficult decisions about who needs to be dealt with and how. We watch as the students wait to learn their fate. For one, this means seeing if she will suffer the ultimate punishment of not being allowed to go to the end of school prom.

Seems to me that the teachers are more bothered about making him cope with the bullying instead of getting rid of the bullies

@kathyhardee2398 2 years ago

Sweet Jack is bullied because he's so meek, when he's had enough he strikes out because the schools fail him.

The fact that Georgia was laughing and on her phone a few moments after whilst Jac was on the verge of crying shows absolutely everything you need to know.

@SilenceHuman 2 years ago

This is just ridiculous. That headteacher, whilst appearing nice on the surface, does not understand what bullying is like. He's giving the bullies a free pass and punishing the bullied ones.

@jamescheffins7127 2 years ago

Such a sad world where students who do the work get made fun of but the students who goof around get all the praise, attention and humour

17:40 “we don’t accept bullying in any form” and yet they didn’t punish georgia at all

@Its_em_xoxo 2 years ago

The way the film crew knew Georgia had lied and it was caught on the cameras, but they punished Jac and gave her nothing. Granted he shouldn’t have gone for her, but the way she lied and got away with it, it’s unacceptable.

The filmmakers knew. They knew exactly what they were doing here. I’m very glad they showed this school for what it is.

School: we don’t accept bullying

Also school: gaslights Jac-Henry into thinking it was just his ‘anger issues’ and Georgia gets off scot free

@BadgerOfTheSea 2 years ago (edited)

The moment Georgia was excluded all of her friends forgot about her and focused on themselves. The moment it was suggested Jac may be excluded all of his friends came together and marched on the office. I know which group I want to see go on to become leaders. That prefect was ready to start a revolution for his friend. The meek really shall inherit the earth.

Jac’s mate who encouraged him to report the bully is a star. Really heart warming that he stuck up for his mate

@Spud.0 2 years ago

They’re blatantly allowing bullying to occur to that lad. He’s bullied constantly and at least he has the nouse to stand up for himself. Pathetic the teachers punish him

@markusally2602 2 years ago

So odd so they don’t tolerate bullying but as soon the person being bullied ‘lashes out’ and sticks up for themself they get shamed and punished. This programme is great cause it shows the ignorance of teachers. Also find it funny how easy it is to see who has been raised right and who is raised poorly(Georgia)

@gummy6667 2 years ago (edited)

Jack's friend, Brandon is an absolute legend. That's a true friend right there, he stood up for Jack and lead their friends to protest against the exclusion. Kid was raised right. Not a fan of the head. There's something about him that I just don't like, but I can't put my finger on it...

@sanamana1 2 years ago

jac is the perfect example of the quiet kid being pushed too far by his bullies and finally snapping. staff aren't helping either.. completely gaslighting him into thinking it's his fault and not even investigating properly into the issues at hand. I know this eps years old and ik he's long gone from school but I hope he's okay now

@AM-dk5ym 2 years ago

3:42 She's in there laughing and Jack's clearly in pain and suffering and all they cared about was managing his anger. This school failed him

@rnadomj 2 years ago

The saddest part of this is that the school convinced Jac that he’s the problem

@Ellsi._ 2 years ago

Honestly this aggrivates me so much, Jac did nothing but retaliate to the bullying and HES the one getting blamed while she giggles and acts like its funny? Its horrid

@JackCODYTeGod 2 years ago

Jac-Henry, a software engineer who working at BAE systems,still friends with Brandon, living a good life, whilst Georgia is living in a council house on the dole with 3 kids all from different dads 🤣🤣🤣

@zectororphan5116 2 years ago

The way the teachers handelled that bullying incident is disgusting and disgraceful, the fact she was laughing with the teachers dealing with the incident and using her phone with them laughing back while the poor kid was on the verge of crying while being treated like the person at fault and in the end gets the full end of the punishment while that scruff of a girl gets away with it all.
