All Human Beings Are Hypocrites.

High school students at this age are in a time of confusion. Young people who have no ideas and principles are too easy to follow the trend, so that the friends around them create a seemingly popular shape that conforms to the teenage spirit and gradually lose their souls. The heroine is a typical push-over representative of her age: the small group she belongs to is a popular gang in high school, and her boyfriend is a popular guy in school, but she continues to date him because her classmates think he is handsome and popular. Continue dating, not really like it; my precious first time, at the encouragement of my friends, decided to send my first time on Cupid Day... Of course, the most obvious cowardice of the heroine is that she realizes that she is living the same life every day, and that she will not be able to get out of this cycle before she really starts to release the emotions that have been suppressed for many years: put on revealing clothes and confront her parents , scolding friends who have been uncomfortable with it, etc. Her entire introspection about herself, about life, and the meaning of unintentional actions in everyday life is based on her being trapped in the same cycle of life. In short, if it weren't for the tragedy of the car accident at the end of that day (readers who have seen the movie know that the reason why the car accident has been unavoidable is that the bullied little girl happened to hit the car, and the little girl was killed by the girl over time. The protagonist's gang and others have been bullying the consequences) she will not have this series of reflections on life, she will repeat this life day after day after this day. It is said that repetition is not the same life, but the same way of life caused by her push-over character and her lack of opinion on life. Maybe she met a friend who satirized a minority student. Although she was reluctant and didn't know why her friends hated her inexplicably, she would still swear at psycho during the chaos, or laugh with her friends, and she would never stand up. Use your own voice to lead your actions, and lead those around you to make different actions. To put it bluntly, people only start to reflect on their faults when they encounter things, and want to make up for that fault through shortcuts. However, some mistakes can be rectified all at once, and some mistakes can be traced back to the source, which are actually caused by the little things in daily life, and the accumulated precipitation in life is framed by human nature and character, and cannot be rectified overnight. When people really realize this, how many people can really be willing to change the behavior that has become a habit to make up for that fault? The emotion you felt after watching the movie can really guide you how long you go. Take the little girl who has been bullied all the time looking for short-sightedness as an example, if every day the heroine's gang can be less insulting to her, the heroine can stand up to comfort the girl every time, and the girl's final act of suicide may be able to be punished. salvaged. But it's been unfair to her for a long time, and trying to pull her back with three or two words of encouragement when all the strings in her body are broken is ridiculous. The author believes that a small chicken soup that this film is distributed to young high school students is not to bully minority students. One day, the strings in their bodies will be broken. There are many high school students who commit suicide because of this reason. Especially in a country like the United States, where bullying is very serious, this movie, like another American TV series Thirteen Reasons Why, must also have the meaning of making high school students pay more attention to the emotions of the people around them and find out the hurting peers so that they can get help in time. . However, if you can really change your behavior by watching a movie or watching an American TV series, it can only be said that most of them still send two sentences of emotion, and then there will be no more. In the afternoon, the author is pessimistic that to some extent everyone It's a hypocrite because... we really don't have the ability to do what we ideally want to make. After all, it's not easy to make selfless sacrifices in this utilitarian world.

This messy question comes from a prospective college student who just graduated from an international high school. I also ask readers to forgive me for the strangeness and disorder of thinking and the rudimentary writing. If you have any feedback or comments, please leave a message and the readers will seriously reflect on it.
