Stand up to bullies!!
This is a good movie, but kind of depressing. In one of the scenes, Chrissa's brother gets hurt after the bully calls him a chicken and saying that he can't jump from the diving board. This has a good message though!!!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome Movie!!!
I LOVED this movie!!! "Chrissa Stands Strong" is about a 5th grade girl named Chrissa. Chrissa moves to a new town. But there is a group of girls called the "Mean Bees" and they make everyone's life miserable. In this movie, Chrissa shows young girls how to stand up to bullies and for those who are being bullied.

I am Glad I saw this movie!!
Some violence with a diving board accident caused by Tara; gives publicity for dolls; Tara and Jadlyn are bad role models and send bad messages; Chrissa is smart to tell a teacher/parent what is happening at school with Tara. Sonlani gets away from Tara's 'possy' after becoming friends with Chrissa; Chrissa is nice to Gwen, regardless of how she is homeless. Tara takes cyber bullying to a new level: she post's (on the swim club website) that Chrissa has a rare skin problem but Mr. Beck gives her a consequence. A REALLY GOOD MOVIE!!

Are You Being Bullied, A life Lesson
This is a good movie. It shows how friends should be treated and it's a good lesson for life. It's shows a lesson about bullying,and that's what some people need to learn about. So if your a bully or your getting bullied, or even knows who is getting bullied, then watch this movie and learn from it.

Brilliant
Tells kids that you have to tell when you are being bullied. It won't get worse if you do it will get better

We Needed This!
This movie shows how to stand up to bullies and will encourage girls to stop the bullying. It is also a very cute movie that ages 7-99 will love. Chrissa is a fun and spunky character who is very sweet and a good friend.

Perfct movie for the whole family!
I watched the movie with my classmates in school, and also read the book. It is a very plesant movie. It teaches girls everywhere about bullying and cyberbullying, and how it is not ok. It is a great family movie and has a very powerful message. I enjoyed the movie so much, I wanted to watch it again and again. It is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Loved it!
this was a great movie i enjoyed it very much. It's about a girl Chrissa who moves to a different state. She was really nervous at her new school and she got bullies by those 2 girls. She learns how to stand up to bullies and basiclly becomes friends in the end. This movie teaches you how to stand up to bullies and be strong and coragous like Chrissa. Girls love american girl although the dolls are exspensive,this movie you should get. It is great.

GREAT MOVIE
i love this movie it's awsome. But there are moments of confusion (not really it just might seem confusing to younger kids, i mean really young kids like 5 maybe 6 and under.) And a brief, but slightly scary diving board accident may prove to scary and realistic for younger kids to handle (5 maybe 6 and under) But the movie does teach good lessons about being yourself, forgiveness, helping, careing, standing up for yourself and those around you, and staying strong to yourself. The bullies in this movie arn't the best of rolemodels and the movie does make it obiouse that what the bullies are doing is wrong and mean and makes chrissa a good role by standing up for herself and speaking out.
