My name is Cindy and I am a Lifetime Movie watcher.
In my opinion, there is nothing better on a cold rainy Saturday than watching a Lifetime movie. In fact as I am writing this post, I am watching a Lifetime movie called "The Assault".
The movie highlights the sexual assault of a cheerleader by a star football player which sounds reminiscent of another sexual assault that was in the news about an Ohio football team.
Often we joke that Lifetime movies are really the reflection of our own lives on screen. Some movies are over the top, but often there are some great takeaways from each movie that can be used in classroom or group guidance. In fact every October, I use the movie "Odd Girl Out" to cover the topics of bullying and conflict resolution styles.
Below, I have raided the Lifetime teen movie vault and posted several other films that a school counselor can use to prompt discussions about social issues like dating violence, eating disorders, and homelessness. In addition, I have attached several teen discussion guides to use with the films.
