Cyberbully is a 2011 Made-for-TV Movie starring Emily Osment. Made by ABC Family, Muse Entertainment and Seventeen magazine, it is a Ripped from the Headlines story about a girl named Taylor who is bullied online after offending a classmate.Prior to the airing of the film, ABC Family (now Freeform) and Seventeen began a campaign against cyberbullying and released online "badges" reading "[delete] digital drama" that can be added to profiles on sites like Facebook.Not to be confused with the 2015 Channel 4 movie starring Maisie Williams.

comment
Dirty Coward: In the end, Lindsay and her friends find themselves confronted with something they've never dealt with before: people willing to call them out on their callous nature. Although she puts up a good fight, Lindsay finds herself losing face the more our main characters bring to light how she enjoys picking on insecure students from behind a computer screen. Her only response is to haughtily tell our protagonist to get out of her face, before slinking off in retreat.

Goodbye, Cruel World!: The video Taylor posts makes it clear she's unable to deal with her depression and is about to kill herself. Samantha sees it and notifies Kris, who, in turn, notifies paramedics, to stop Taylor before she makes good on her threat.

comment
Annoying Younger Sibling: Eric, to Taylor. Deconstructed, as he goes from annoying to irresponsible to the point it might endanger his sister's well-being... and all because she refused to lend him her computer. Namely, he and his friend somehow managed to hack into Taylor's Cliquesters page and wrote the eloquent "I'm a naughty bad girl! Somebody should spank me!", which kicks off the main conflict of Taylor being bullied.

Ripped from the Headlines
 Cyberbully (2011) / int_1616e13
comment
Ripped from the Headlines: The film was inspired by the many stories of young people committing suicide after they are bullied online. Specifically the story of Megan Meier, who hung herself due to a situation very similar to that in which Taylor finds herself, and is actually mentioned by name in the film.

Jerkass Has a Point
 Cyberbully (2011) / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: Lindsay's father says that his daughter has the right to insult people online, due to the First Amendment to the Constitution. He may be an asshole, but the First Amendment is there to protect unpopular speech, including hate speech, and other people have an equal right to fight back against hateful speech with more speech. But that's not good enough, according to this film, and anybody who does anything slightly resembling cyberbullying should be severely punished to the full extent of the law, which could potentially ruin their lives.

Artistic License – Law
 Cyberbully (2011) / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: The legislation that they pass at the end, and the legislation they say they will try to pass after the movie's over, besides being impracticable, is actually infringing on many other privacy laws that already exist, including the Constitution itself, so the law will eventually be overturned by a court. When Taylor's mother confronts Lindsay's father about his daughter's bullying, he threatens to sue her for slander. Given that he is an attorney, you'd think he would know that there's no way in Hell that he would have any kind of case for that against her. Not only is there readily available evidence that Lindsay has bullied Taylor (making Taylor's mother's statements demonstrably true), but private statements, by definition, cannot be defamatory.note Granted, he might just be trying to intimidate her with threats of legal action, hoping that she doesn't know enough about law to realize he doesn't have a case.

Recycled Premise: The film shares a few too many similarities to the 2010 film Easy A. Notably, it stars a previously-invisible everygirl who becomes well known to her school primarily for being a supposed slut (who's actually a virgin) based on rumors started by a local Alpha Bitch and an old friend, who ends up falling out with her because of this Slut-Shaming; she has a gay friend who gets similar bullying because of his homosexuality that's been going on far longer than her bullying but she doesn't really understand it until she sees how badly the homophobia hurts him, she's got a crush on an attractive nice guy who doesn't believe the things people say about her and, in the end, stays by her side, but before that she meets a seemingly nice guy who's really two-faced and makes the situation worse (and in Cyberbully's case, isn't really a guy). And, in both films, the protagonist makes a video that the school watches after having an emotional breakdown of sorts. While the details of the tropes and such are different, the film's got more than a fair share of similarities.

comment
Totally Radical: The teenagers in the movie use a lot of slang that teens in real life stopped using long before the movie was made. Among these slang terms used are "bling" and "the clap". When Taylor's friend Caleb talks about being subjected to cyberbullying over his sexuality, two of the anti-gay insults he mentions receiving are "fruit" and "fairy". At the end, when the word is getting around via texts that Taylor and her friends told Lindsay off, one of the responses that can be seen is "That's fab!"

Too Dumb to Live: Inverted. Among other things, Taylor is too dumb to open a childproof cap without struggling, making this a strange case of Too Dumb to Die. Made funnier when the cap pops off while Taylor and Samantha struggle over control of the bottle. She's also trying to overdose on what appears to be Tylenol, which would take several days to die from and is extremely painful.

It's All About Me
 Cyberbully (2011) / int_bb18a227
comment
It's All About Me: Throughout the first half of the film, Taylor's capacity for empathy is pretty low, which results in her casually and thoughtlessly saying very cold things to people. One of the worst examples of this is a scene where Taylor's gay classmate Caleb tries to empathize with her about how much it can hurt being constantly bullied, insulted, and targeted by their peers, and Taylor blows him off by stating that there's a difference - he really is gay, while what people are saying about her isn't true. Taylor finally grows out of this trait towards the end of the film, after she's come to understand how much words can hurt.

Both Sides Have a Point: While Taylor later admits her mom had a point when she kept saying it wasn't healthy of her to read all the nasty comments on her social media, her mom also believes it wasn't wise on her part to jump at her daughter's throat instead of listening to her.

comment
Insane Troll Logic: Samantha hates Scott because of something he had nothing to do with - namely, his friend slept with Samantha and then dumped her. Then her method of "protecting" Taylor by alienating Scott from her was posing as a guy, gaining Taylor's trust, and then spreading rumors about Taylor having an STD. How Samantha expected this to end any way but horribly is anybody's guess.

Freudian Excuse

comment
Freudian Excuse: It's implied that the reason why Lindsay (and, by extension, her father) is so hostile toward Taylor is that her mother passed away a few years before the events of the film. We learn about this as soon as we meet her father.

Karmic Shunning: People discover that it was Sam behind the James profile cyberbullying and spreading rumors about her own best friend Taylor — causing severe Slut-Shaming and nearly leading to suicide — the kids at school stopped bullying Taylor and started bullying Sam instead. Taylor was horrified by this, telling Sam that nobody deserves to go through such bad harassment (even though the latter feels she deserves it), and this leads to the two making amends.

Easily Forgiven: Samantha. After setting up a fake student account, flirting with Taylor, breaking her heart, and (unintentionally) driving her to almost commit suicide, it's a little hard to imagine that Taylor would just forgive and forget. Of course, Samantha did manage to stop Taylor from killing herself, so that could be part of it.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Not only is Taylor's mom successful getting an amendment passed to make cyberbullying a little easier to deal with, but Taylor herself stands up to Lindsey, gets her friends back and is able to peacefully resume her school life. After an uphill battle of cyberbullying and the like, it's safe to say life is back to normal for Taylor.

Cyberbullying: The plot, as implied by the title, is about protagonist Taylor suffering from severe cyberbullying after insulting an Alpha Bitch online- most of the bullying involves Slut-Shaming and spreading rumors. Because the bullying is online, however, Taylor and her mother struggle to get any proper justice served over it.
