I love how it points out that people get too tied up into their group or status in highschool.

This movie should be shown to all school kids.

Think kids will listen? Lol....

Cliques will never go away. But maybe a few would pay heed to CBML's message.

You mean cliques. Clicks are a sound.

I was thinking it was spelt that way.

* spelled.

While clique was incorrect, both spelt and spelled are correct.

I'm trolling. Give me some credit.

[–] sslssg (35143) 4 years ago

I'm sorry. I can't tell when people are trolling anymore. :)

Sometimes I get burnt out trying to figure out who's trolling and who's not...

I don't remember that being much a message, but then again I haven't seen this film since its initial release.

Another contemporary teen movie "River's Edge" seemed to touch more on the dangers of teen clique culture and the anxiety of youth trying to "fit in".
