Odd GirL OuT::
Just now I watched a movie on one of the SCV movie channel titled "Odd Girl Out". Before you start groaning...not another teenager story..well, it's not about romance. It's more on friendship and peer pressure among teenagers. Since my life ... oo wait.. my professional life (thats better) evolves around kids, that movie has its effect on me..ok..ok..i can't help being sentimental all the time. *sticks out tongue*.
Summary:
It's about Vanessa who was very smart, quite pretty and very naive was backstabbed by her friends. She hangs out with the 'popular' girls and her best friend, Stacie, is sort of the leader of the pack. Stacie & the rest of the pack starts picking on Vanessa. Soon the verbal abuse made more kids joined in the pack for the cheap thrills..hey they even taped her when she was being rushed to the hospital due to an overdose just for laughs. Getting very stressed out, she did something to her hair, even played truant (due to the hair) and finally had an overdose of sleeping pills. From that incident she became closer to a new girl in her class, Emily. The story had a happy ending with Vanessa found her strength to 'dump' Stacie.
My Favourite Part:-
Vanessa confronting Stacie for revealing what they talked to the rest of the pack..(rough quotation of the dialogue.. hey i can't 100% recall it).
Stacie: I'm da best thing that happen to you.
Vanessa: Yeah rite, like a flesh eating virus.
Stacie: (whispers) Come on we don't have to do this.
Vanessa: No, you can't just walk away from this.
Stacie: Ok..ok.. I'm sorry for all the things that I've done to you. We're still friends rite?
Vanessa: No, you have nothing that I want.
Peer pressure.. a very IMPORTANT thing in our life especially during our teenage life. There's sooo many things teenagers can be pressurized on:-
1) BGR (everyone has BF except me)
2) Looks (I'm fat & unpopular)
3) Studies (I'm so stupid)
4) Trying drugs & smoking (I'm not a chicken & I wanna be cool)
5) Sex (he will leave me if we don't do it and besides everyone doing it)
Sometimes all these pressure from peers depends on the friends we mix with like the saying, 'birds of a feather flock together'. But no matter what, ultimately it's your choice. You can't follow people or trend blindly. Open up those eyes and don't be like 'lembu dicucuk hidung' which means a person who follow others blindly. We can either choose to be safe but getting dumped or pregnant & still getting dumped later. Hahaha. Life is a matter of choices so choose wisely. Even though school requires you to be kinda of uniformed, you are still an invidual with a mind of your own. You don't have to listen to what others say...hmm except your teachers of coz.. hey we don't belong to the same age group so we can't peers. Understnd?
In short...Firstly it's about the friends we mix. Secondly, the choices we make & finally it's our own believe & values. Not all people who mix with bad company turned out bad. One of my ex was an addict & I don't even smoke. It's a short relationship coz we have clash of personality & values. If you have SCV, go & catch it.. but I can't recall which channel... hahaha.
