Haley has always been an outsider until the leader or Queen Bee of the group takes a liking to her. She enjoys her new found popularity, however not everyone in the group is thrilled with Haley's arrival. Eventually they all turn against her.
The violent scene was not easy to watch. Is is shown in bits and pieces, however we see replays of many of the bits throughout the remainder of the movie. The aftermath of the violence was a large part of Girl Fight and I thought they handled very well the impact it had on Haley and her family not only physically, but emotionally, legally and socially.
I've written about bullying lately, but it has been mostly about verbal abuse. This is bullying of a completely different nature. While the other is more commonplace and this is fairly bizarre and one is words and this is punches, they can both cause the same amount of damage to a teen's psyche. Bullying is bullying no matter how it is done.
Watch Girl Fight, a Lifetime Original Movie, premiering on Lifetime on Monday, October 3, at 9pm, ET/PT.
