Reconcile with your past self

Watching this movie reminds me of me when I was in junior high school. I was isolated by my friends, and I didn't get along with my parents during the rebellious period. The heroine was like myself at that time. There was no one around to talk to, and at that time, I also thought about suicide, thinking, anyway, life is so hard, it's better to die. Thinking about it now, that's not a problem. Now I am living a full life every day. The reason why she called me a friend who isolated me was because when she was in college, she told me that she was naive and immature at that time, and that she was really an idiot at that time. At that point, I reconciled with my teenage self. Now that I am twenty, although I have a crush on every friend because of the past, I think this is also a good thing.

Sometimes don't envy other people's lives, there are things around you that suit you.

    An easily overlooked low-budget film with a well-written, youthful campus story with content. Hailey performed very well, the Asian brother looks like Zhang Yi. It turns out that it is also a debut work, and the director is commendable. [B]

    8.0 There are no losers in the world, only hypocritical losers, because losers are hypocritical, and if you are not hypocritical, you are not a loser, girl, you are not a loser, as long as you are not hypocritical.

The Edge of Seventeen quotes

  • Nadine: You know, ever since we were little, I would get this feeling like... Like I'm floating outside of my body, looking down at myself... And I hate what I see... How I'm acting, the way I sound. And I don't know how to change it. And I'm so scared... That the feeling is never gonna go away.

  • Nadine: You know what? I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm gonna tell you the real reason I'm having my lunch with you today. You see, I don't really have any friends, at the moment, and, to be completely honest with you, I'm not interested. At all. My entire generation is a bunch of mouth breathers. They literally have a seizure if you take their phone away for a second, they can't communicate without emojis, and they actually think that the world wants to know that they are "eating a taco, exclamation point, smiley face, smiley face", like we give a fuck. I... am an old soul. I like old music, and old movies, and even old people. I have nothing in common with the people out there, and they have nothing in common with me.

    Mr. Bruner: Nadine?

    Nadine: Max?

    Mr. Bruner: Maybe... nobody likes you.

    Nadine: [pause] You're a dick.
