In Boys Grammar, Gareth is bullied at school to the point that one day several of the other boys gang-rape him in the showers. He returns to the sanctuary of home, sweet home, to hear his father say, "It seems there has been some bullying going 'round ... What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger."
Boys Grammar is difficult to watch, evoking an insistent urge to leap into the screen and strangle the bullies and most of all the father, but it's worth seeing.
