"The film helps to combat cyber-bullying through increasing awareness of the issues. It is an educational and informational tool that respects young people. It is a proactive film aimed at preventing negative behaviour by showing the consequences of certain actions... ...I again congratulate Ross and Darren Bark on their excellent creation"

Pru Goward Member of the NSW Legislative Assembly and Shadow Minister for Community Services

"Best Enemies is a film which conveys the reality that teenage girls face and is a true depiction of the devastating impact of bullying. I commend the Bark brothers for their efforts in creating this film and I encourage schools around the country to utilise this great resource. I certainly will be taking it to my schools in my electorate".

Mike Neville, Mayor of Griffith City Council
 
“Griffith is happy to launch this initiative which openly confronts an issue that hits at the heart of many young Australians. Cyber bullying undermines the fabric of young community members by diminishing their self image and self respect. This initiative offers participants a chance to develop strategies to avoid being drawn into the bullying cycle."
 
Marian Catholic College Captain, Domenica Polimeni
 
"It's made me more aware of what bullying is and how it can affect people. I think the bullies watching it might come to realise the scars that it can leave on people right into adulthood. I'm taking away a lot from this film. As a leader it will help me understand how to help others who have been affected by bullying"
 
Kingsgrove North High School
 
"Very effective in visually showing the consequences of cyber bullying and how serious it is"
 
"I think the film and workshop is extremely effective"
 
"It is a big eye-opener and show you how hurtful and terrible that one little thing can turn into something"
 
Griffith High School - Year 8 students
 
"The film and workshop was excellent and it helped to show how people can act to help their friends"
 
"It showed us how bad bullying is and it has changed my point of view and my friends for the better"
