There is no way you grasped this movie at eleven years old

I was today years old when i found out they all improved this whole scene

Andrew’s lament about apologizing for things you’ve done is so painfully accurate. How do you so deliberately do something that you know is the wrong thing to do and except yourself to apologize for it? You know what you did; you knew before you perpetrated it; you knew while you were acting on it; and you knew after the fact; and you know that know apology is going to sound genuine enough to those who witnessed it. It’s the same feeling of guilt around the song “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins: a man watches another man drown and does nothing about it, turns around to the sight of a silhouette obscured by the light, and he must endure the first hand trauma associated with self-corruption.

This movie is what every generation need to watch at least once

This movie is about teens supporting each other when their parents couldn’t. Its point of view is for teens to listen, talk, play and spend time with each other. They can learn from each other

This is why EVERY school should have therapists.

I asked a teacher x years later why they didn't get me therapy. She answered: "We didn't understand". But I felt she never saw me, never cared. Just looked good and did her lesson time. Boring pretty. SOme teachers were good, loved their subjects. But didn't see us , connect with us. Some connected with the ones they felt like (i believe). Some clearly had problems of their own.- I´t is not easy to really be grown-up.

@@Medietos Well I'll say this, nobody gives you a manual on how to be an adult. All anyone can do is wing it best they can. Also, think about how many students one teacher deals with in a day. Some may deal with just 1 class, but most deal with multiple. This can range anywhere from 12 to 60 students a day and possibly more than that... (not to sound cruel or anything) but would you wanna hear ALL their problems EVERYDAY? (my mother is an E.A. I see exactly how much it wares teachers out to deal with so many kids, especially bratty kids) I can see how that would drain on anyone's mental health. Also it's not a teacher's job to become envolved with students on a personal level as it may cause serious reprecautions for them if anything is considered "inappropriate" to a student. That's what counsollers are for. Specifically to connect and talk and understand what someone may be dealing with. I think it's okay if teachers talk to their students if something is wrong, that's just being sympathetic. But it's another thing to envolve themselves on a personal level. They can get in real trouble for that, even if the interactions are harmless. But what's weird to me is that people would rather talk to a teacher than their own families. It's not even a matter of awkwardness, it just makes no sense to me anyway, that you would talk to a stranger about your issues instead of your parents who are inclined to love you reguardless.

In my teacher education program we've talked about adverse childhood experiences and the impacts they can have on students, their academic progress and behavior. This scene is a perfect depiction of such things, and the impacts they can have - most of these kids being otherwise star students who on the outside appear to have everything going for them. I'm thinking of suggesting the professor show this to future classes, or will bring it up if we discuss that again in my program. This movie has such incredible depth, far beyond the usual prom king/queen underdog gets girl stuff of most throwaway high school movies. Which is why it's still relevant 37 years later.

"Is that for real?" "You wanna come over some time?"

This movie is so accurate to real teens that I could pinpoint the characters to people in my school, people I would have never taken a second glance at, or considered my friends.

Andrew is lucky he was just sent to a Saturday detention, and I think it was due to the era. That’s a major offense, like hazing violation, bullying. He would possibly be sent to an alternative school today, removed from the team, or facing legal charges. Brian might make the news today for the gun stunt, and probably be told to meet with a mental health professional. Geez we were so without resources in the 80s.

Family households more functional than now, better income to taxes and inflation ratio, less mental illness, less crime across the board in most cities (excluding meccas like New York), etc. This isn't debatable. And these non-debatable metrics or just observable anecdotes, indicate greater quality of life nearly everywhere in the United States, and the West in general.

You know honestly as young people we often times believe that romantic relationships and lifelong friendships are built on simple. things that you have in common with other people. However real and authentic relationships and friendships are built on your deepest fears anxiety’s triggers past traumas and all of your deepest desires stemming from your childhood; what type of parenting you received: spoiled, abandonment,coddled,abusive,religious etc. That in my opinion is what true friendship and real relationships are built on is being able to be open and laugh about what your childhood and how you were raised was really all about.
