Stephen King’s ‘Carrie’: Bullying and its Psychological Consequences

In the realm of horror literature and cinema, few works have left as profound an impact as Stephen King’s novel “Carrie” and its film adaptation directed by Brian De Palma. The story centers around a tormented high school girl named Carrie White, who possesses telekinetic powers and ultimately snaps under the relentless bullying and mistreatment
