This movies made me feel like I was living life right beside them. A lot of people say that things in this movie would never happen, but that's the thing. As a teen myself, growing up in the hood is not easy. And we do and know a lot of things that teens shouldn't do or know.
This shows how it really feels to try and fit in, not a cliche stereotypical high school drama. I guess it' just not a movie for everyone. Especially people who grew up in the suburbs.
