Ah teenagers

Honestly when I saw this, I felt most people in this movie was stupid. First off the boyfriend's dad is a douche. I mean firing someone then saying stuff like "With that attitude no wonder no one will hire you" or "Is this how you raise your kids?" after the daughter got arrested. The boyfriends parents come off to me as stuck up.
As for the girlfriend's family: the mom was okay, the dad was okay but the daughter... How many girls keep secrets to themselves? Almost all teenage girls when I was in school would tell their girlfriends everything! "Yeah I saw my bf with the teacher, Mrs Hottiepants." "He told me this, and that" When the girl followed her bf and saw him with the teacher, she didn't pull out her phone and film or take a pic? I would have. If I thought my bf was cheating on me and I was following him, I'd be on the phone with the friend sending her photo text. Also in this day and age, girls would have posted the pic online or the video online. Or if they wanted to be modest, show the pic to the parents and principle.

The teacher: seriously some sort of psychopath. I wonder what made her go crazy as a kid and kill the blonde?

Danny's parents were stuck up and very controlling. Jamie's parents seemed like decent folks who were going through some rough times financially, though the money issues took up so much time and attention that it was hurting their relationship with Jamie (not to mention the fact they had to tap into her college fund to help make ends meet).

Jamie didn't tell anyone about Danny and Ms. Matson because nobody would've believed her. They would've felt Jamie was just trying to get back at Ms. Matson for giving her a C on her paper. Jamie also probably felt like she was in the wrong for following Danny to Ms. Matson's house, which is why she panicked and ran after Danny saw her. Had she caught the two of them in the act at school or a more neutral place, I imagine she would've confronted them.

Ms. Matson's foster mother was constantly insulting her, particularly about her looks, until she finally snapped.

I do think on some level, Jamie would have told SOMEONE about him cheating on her with the new teacher. It may have been more believable that she didn't tell anyone if she hadn't already told her best friend that she was suspicious of him cheating already. But to not only tell her one without the other, I doubt very highly she'd make herself look like she's in the wrong when she had actually found valid proof that he was in fact cheating. Every teenage girl, and most adult females for that matter, have at least one friend they confide in with sensitive details about their lives. She'd of needed to tell someone, being that upset and having dated him for a year which in high school is considered a long term relationship.
Personally I don't understand why she didn't sing that from the rooftop when she found out about his infidelity. The audacity of him to even ask her to protect him from his "super strict father" was absolutely ridiculous! He want HER to protect HIM after he wasn't too concerned about her being hurt or used in that situation and the way she'd be affected. Absolutely no way in a million years I can imagine giving a damn about him or the reprocussions of his actions. You make the bed you lie in kiddo, and maybe if she had told on your little "study dates" with Mrs. HottiePants (loved that btw), she wouldn't have gotten a chance to run him over.

I also couldn't understand why he felt the need to meet up with her that night and "end things" in such an official manner? I think his actions spoke pretty clearly for him and she'd of eventually if not already gotten the message. The message was pretty clear already and I don't understand how he planned on making it more clear by meeting her in a dark, deserted parking lot after dark. And after she'd already shown signs of being a little off and unstable the night before with the repetitive texting, he was just asking for the psychotic side of her to show up.

Yeah officially trying to break it off with her was stupid and non necessary, I know he's young and immature but why piss off the teacher who is giving you good grades that you need to stay on the team? He should have just avoided her.

Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

Yeah I was suprised she didn't tell her bff everything, also she didn't have a phone her parents had taken it off her because they couldn't afford it so when she followed Danny to psycho teachers house she had no way of recording proof. As for why the teacher was such a psycho and killed her foster mum, the foster mother was a nasty cow who constantly put her down and one day she just snapped I guess and killed her.

For one thing Jamie's 'best friend', that brunette, seemed flighty at best and probably not the best person to confide in. Plus she was an 18 yr old senior heading to college- by that age (most) girls with any sense are done gossiping and have grown up a little bit.

[–] manram24 9 years ago

Yeah some friend she was, she was one of the reasons the cops arrested Jamie.

More like ah lifetime movies, they are all the same and boring. Never anything creative or unoriginal.

[–] Stoshie 10 years ago

Of course it is a stupid movie; it is a Lifetime movie, and that pretty much defines the "stupid" genre. Without gaping plot holes and unbelievable actions by the characters, there would be no Lifetime movies.

But since Kelcie Stranahan is in it, I don't care; I'll watch anything she does! Heck, I'd watch her silently read a book for two hours!

Ok I think the girlfriend might be embarrassed. But forget about her telling, in real life it would of been him bragging about bagging the hot teacher. Every person connected to that Baseball Team would of gotten that memo the first time she paid him extra attention and the guys would of been bugging him about it talking about when they can have a turn with her. So this movie is way off course. I am surprised he did not make a video of her and him.

Jaime Hall wasn't all that pretty. She is young, has pretty hair and is skinny but her face is not all that great and has sort of a bulbous nose and god forbid when she gets as old as Josie Davis and won't even have Josie's fit figure probably. Annalisa Cochrane who is not in this film is way better looking.

If you don't give your teenage hormonal running wild BF sex, he will look elsewhere, dumb bitch

As far as pulling out a cell phone and taking pictures: she couldn't, as at the beginning of the movie the mom had explained that they couldn't pay that bill anymore, they were trying to just barely maintain their life, because of him losing his job so late in life. She was so college conscious, (Plus needed to do *super well* in school to get a scholarship to even go) that the idea of getting a job for a cell phone wasn't one she considered, I guess. Too bad she didn't have one!!!!

I agree with most of your other statements. I'm not a gossiper, but what she knew would have been troubling enough that she would probably need to tell someone. (As far as her "ugliness" that's talked about in several statements. Oh boy, My thought is she'll grow up and surprise everyone, though she played "the virgin" here quite well, dressing innocently enough, without loads of makeup.)

And his parents WERE terrible. You describe them perfectly....they couldn't recognize that their son had a sweet little virgin (as I'm sure they would want for him....no pregnancies, std's.....before college. And not just that. They seemed incapable, or worse...completely unfeeling... of realizing what they did to people around them, how they hurt those who had done nothing wrong.
