Sticks and Stones

Dokumentar

Children learn from subtle clues what society thinks about gender roles, same-sex parents and family differences. The children in Sticks & Stones vividly describe how it feels to be teased when their families don't follow traditional gender roles. They talk about why bullies indulge in name-calling, and what they think should be done about it.

In Other Words

Dokumentar

Name-calling and cruel language hurt, say the teens who speak in this film. Homophobic language is a common verbal put-down among young people, but many adults feel uncomfortable responding. Moving interviews with gay, lesbian and transgender teens provide first-hand accounts. Weaving together slang, media images and dictionary definitions, the film examines how language shapes attitude.
