This is the story of Growing Edge

We all have such a common life experience. We do not have enough courage to become bad, nor do we have enough ability to become good. We feel our own lack in the hustle and bustle of good and bad. Our spirits are detached from our bodies and look at ourselves from a wider perspective so that we hate and hate our own ordinaryness. We want a fresh, exciting and alternative life, we want to be different, we think we are special, and the mediocre self destroys all illusions about ourselves, we try to deny our needs, and take incomprehension as weakness We want to be different, but we can't build a different kind of building. We just build a castle in the sky, a castle in the sand, and finally be After this emptiness is completely defeated, we return to reality, carefully but honestly examine ourselves, admit ourselves, forgive ourselves, and in self-affirmation, we become mature, and the anxiety, anxiety, urgency, and emptiness of youth still accompany, just We are no longer so intolerable. We walk back into our own space and find gentle belonging, which is the story of the growing edge.

    like. Cute and real, not contrived, you will feel good after reading it. It seems to be my favorite American youth film after JUNO. Hailee Steinfeld is great, and the Korean brother is adorable. (Looking back at the film festival, I met a lot of crying neighbors. It seems like the first time I laughed so happily with my neighbors)

    People are growing up in the third year of high school, and we are having abortions in the third year of high school. . . . .

The Edge of Seventeen quotes

  • Nadine: [writing a text to a boy she has a crush on] Nick, I'm just gonna say it, I like you. I've liked you for months. I think about you every second. I don't know, maybe I even love you. You're so complicated, but simple, and I just feel this connection between us, I feel like I already know you, and I just want to be with you. I want to give you head, I want you to put your mouth on my tits, I want to feel you inside me... We can do it in the Petland stockroom. - Nadine.

    [pause]

    Nadine: Oh my god. Oh my god.

    Nadine: [to herself] You sound like a fucking psychopath. You can't send this.

    [She accidentally sends the text]

    Nadine: What? No. Shit... Oh my god. Oh my god, no way, no, no, no way, no. FUCK! Oh my god! Shit!

  • Darian: You're right about everything. I'm only here for me, and my life is fucking incredible. I love it. I love spending another night talking Mom off the ledge, I love only applying to schools nearby, because who knows what'll happen in the house if I'm not around to fix it, and I love...

    [getting choked up]

    Darian: that the one person who makes me feel like I could take a fucking breath... I can't have without completely destroying you. So, you're right. You're right, it's a blast. I win.
