And I am so thankful for films like this, that accurately represent this period in a person's life so well.
I wish there were more films like this around when I was going through the same time of my life because I think I would have felt a lot less alone, and wouldn't have had unrealistic expectations on what this period of my life would be like. Most likely the first time you have sex you wont be in a 5 star hotel on a bed with rose petals. Most likely you don't live in the nicest house in the town and drive a jeep. Most likely you don't have perfect skin and most likely you don't get everything you ever want by the time you graduate high school.
The casting was also so good cause I actually believed they were all in high school unlike a lot of these movies in which the characters look 26 rather than 17.
Also in the school church they sung a song that I used to have to sing at school and it transported me.
