What Is Your Stand on Bullying?
The Benchwarmers is undeniably a very funny movie. It may have gotten a lot of criticism because of all the adolescent jokes and profanities, but the message of the movie itself is wonderful.
Knowing what it’s like to be bullied, Gus, Richie, and Clark strike back after seeing a friend’s son being picked on by some neighborhood kids. What they failed to do as children, they did as adults. They stood up against bullies by forming a baseball team and competing with them.
We don’t promote taking revenge, but standing up for oneself is necessary. More than that, standing up for others who are too scared to do it for themselves is just as important.
At one point in our lives, we all might have experienced being pushed around by mean kids or colleagues. But, we hope that this list of quotes was able to inspire you to be fearless and not let other people put you down because of their hurtful words. You are so much more than that!
