Is this show safe for someone with bullying PTSD?
I’m interested in watching Gossip Girl but I have PTSD from bullying. From what I read, most of the gossiping and bullying is attractive popular rich girls against other attractive popular rich girls, with occasional bullying against less wealthy characters rather than heavy focus on poor, unattractive people being bullied. That would be fine for me. An example of a show I couldn’t watch was season three (I think?) of stranger things where Eleven was bullied by Angela, and certain scenes in other Stranger Things seasons. I just don’t want to watch it if there’s heavy emphasis on unpopular “underdog” characters being bullied.
