The daily life of an eighth grader (equivalent to a domestic junior high school graduate).
Ordinary appearance, frizzy hair, pimples all over his face, mediocre body, a loose back and a round belly when wearing a swimsuit, and a heavy schoolbag on his back The back of his shoulders - the look of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is more like a fat child from an ordinary family in China.
I don't know if it's because of her appearance, but Kayla's personality is introverted, socially inept, and always the most neglected girl in the crowd. The relationship with the single father always collapsed tightly, as if the ubiquitous grievances in his heart would be vented at the father in the next second. Also because she is withdrawn and has no friends, Kayla has become a weirdo in the eyes of most children of her age. She is used to seeing bright and beautiful American high school students, and suddenly she feels that this heroine really has no aura at all.
So mundane. Ordinary will forget her face in the next second.
And Kayla should not be reconciled to such a mediocre life, especially when the eighth grade is about to graduate.
She makes a lot of YouTube videos, although the number of views is pitiful; she wants to give advice to others through videos, but her life doesn't improve much; she wants to make friends with the most popular girls, and then expand herself through her She was in love with a little scumbag who just wanted to see girls' photos, and she even taught herself a certain technique; she wanted to "normally interact" with people of the same age, but she was unable to do so, so when she got a chance Playing with a few high school students, one of the boys just wanted to sleep with her for the reason of deception... As an adult, I really only laugh at such a girl, it's stupid.
But when you're a teenager, where do you get to be mature?
Most people have come from the ordinary, and many of them may still be so ordinary until now, such as myself.
This movie won't make you laugh, it will only make you think back to those same silly pasts. Just like a few years later, when I look at the strokes I wrote down, I can't help but laugh at the hypocrisy and stupidity.
But that was also the best part of the past.
Because now, you shouldn't be able to do such stupid things again.
At the end of the film, Kayla, who graduated from the eighth grade, recorded a video for Kayla, who graduated from high school, and some of the problems were repeated to the eighth grade self that she recorded a few years ago (Look, this kind of time capsule stalk, is it just silly? Realistic again?). However, in the still so stupid video, it seems for the first time that this girl who does not shine actually has a little courage and some determination to face it.
"If high school sucked for you, I'm really sorry about that. But I mean, it's whatever, middle school wasn't so great for me, but I'm past it now. And I'm moving forward, and you can do that too with high school if it didn't go great. Just because things are happening to you right now doesn't mean that they'er always gonna happen to you. And things will change. And you never know what's gonna like , happen next, and that's what make things exciting and scary. And fun.”
Life will not be easy for anyone, whether it is you, who was young and young, or me, who is gradually under pressure.
"So, stay cool, and I can't wait to be you."
