adolescence, marginalized

To put it bluntly, she is a girl. Because of her eccentric personality, she is not in harmony with her brother at home, and she is not popular outside. When her only best friend actually fell in love with her brother, she felt even more lonely. She didn't know who to like, so by her inner guidance, she actually made a naked confession to a scumbag, but she was not a dissolute person. As a girl, she accepted the normal "love talk" more. Talk about love", but the scumbag doesn't think so. In fact, an Asian male classmate has always liked her, but it may be a cultural problem or a personality problem, and the little girl's interaction with him is not smooth. Of course, this is more suitable for her (or more understandable and acceptable). She), and finally let the little girl change and become normal.

Therefore, the revelation of the film is very simple and clear. Adolescence will expose previous personality problems at one time. It is definitely not an exaggeration that the so-called "being unkind" will ruin a person's life. Especially compared with "Melissa", it is better to understand the problem at this level.

The more interesting part of the film is a clip where the girl likes to chat with her teacher. When she regretted sending the courtship message to the handsome guy, she ran to tell the teacher that she wanted to kill herself. The conversation between the two was interesting. Girl: Listen, I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I'm going to kill myself. I just think who should be notified, I don't know how to execute it, should I jump off the overpass and be hit head-on by a big truck, or a big truck from a moving company, not a bus, I don't want to be embarrassed, but I I have to die heroically, I have to die vigorously, and die neatly, if I'm half-dead and crippled, it won't do anyone any good, and then I'll have to find a nurse to suffocate me, if that's the case, how can I let others Understand that I mean "smothering", we don't have to pay attention to the details, I just think as an adult, you should know. Teacher: This, you see, this is a bit of information, Nadine. Me, I wish I knew what to say. I'm actually drafting my own suicide notes, dear ones, some of you know that I enjoy 32 minutes of peace at noon every school day, and this good time lately has been beaten time and time again by the same scruffy student devoured. Finally I thought, guess what, I'd rather live in a dark nothingness, and I really wanted to, it sounds, just relax. Happy life without me, bastards! 17.5.5
