Other Fellow's Feelings, The is a short film from 1951 released on 16mm. It is held in the Prelinger Archives collection.
The result of carrying teasing [and ridicule] too far is the theme of this discussional film.
The opening scene shows Judy, a seventh-grade girl, sitting in her classroom crying. While the teacher is sympathetically trying to find out what is the matter, the commentator interrupts to suggest going back to the beginning of the trouble.
When Judy drops a bottle of perfume at school, Jack reacts with "Phooey! Stinky!" After that he begins a teasing campaign which becomes more and more unpleasant, until his other classmates also become impatient with him. Meanwhile, Judy becomes so upset emotionally that her school work suffers considerably. She refuses to tell her teacher what is wrong because she does not want to be a tattle-tale.
The climax of the situation comes when Judy says "I stink" instead of "I think" while reciting. She breaks down completely when the rest of the class laughs. Rather than offering a solution to the problem, the film raises a number of discussion questions and presents alternative courses of action.
