Synopsis

Thirteen-year-old Jonathan Turner is overweight, has few friends and is constantly picked on by the school bully. His teachers seem to offer little support so as things escalate he turns to his father, but his suggestions make the situation much worse. A simple but moving drama that looks at the causes of bullying and the consequences of bad advice.
