A skinhead thug wins a bloody playground fight with a classmate, before hunting down a teacher as his next victim.
This is Bully, a controversial video game that awards you points for being the most vicious hooligan in a reform school.
Appearing on "Ontario's West Coast Today" Co-founder of "www.bullyingcanada.ca" , Katie Neu (NEW) agreed with child welfare campaigners and teachers groups calling for the Canadian Government to ban the game.
Neu, who chose to be home-schooled because of constant bullying, says the video game is just feeding the fire for bullies.
Neu says after the first bullying game was released people knew she was fighting it , so they took things learned from the game to use against her.
She urges targeted students to hope online and vent their frustrations at "www.bullyingcanada.ca", which is the first youth created anti-bullying website in Canada.
Approximately 1 in 4 kids and 282,000 Canadian high school students are verbally and physically attacked each month.
The website has a free E-weekly newsletter as well as links to help support kids experiencing bullying.
