Rivals, The Stalking of Laurie Show

This film is based on a true story and is about two teenage girls, Laurie Show and Michelle Lambert who go from being good friends to enemies due to the behavior and actions of Michelle's boyfriend Butch Yunkin.

Basically, Laurie is the victim, although it is Michelle who likes to make people think otherwise and she manages to gain the sympathy of all their mutual friends.

Laurie is left as an outsider, devastated by the actions of Butch and also the fact that her friends have turned their backs on her leaving her very much alone.

The situation escalates when Michelle decides that Laurie has not been punished enough and starts to hound Laurie with malicious, threatening phone calls day and night, but the bullying that follows is not just mental.

This story is very hard-hitting and shocking at points. I found it very sad and was left feeling for Laurie's mother as she was the one who tried so hard to stop the torment and was left to pick up the pieces when it finally did end.
