They represent the elite culture of private schools, living on Fifth, Park and Central Park West crowd, weekends in the Hampton's. That's their world, older teens whose lives revolve around wealth, shopping, entitlement and privilege. I know because I was sent to an all-girls private school and hated every moment I was there, when my parents sent me to Stony Brook School for girls. I cried every day and missed my friends. They wanted me to get into the best colleges and thought this school would help seeing the name of this prestigious school on my transcripts. I was just so miserable being around these people. I never met girls so pretension, self-involved, arrogant, entitled, repugnant, unbalanced, mentally and emotionally screwed up in all my life. They had eating disorders, cheated on exams, stole from Fifth & Park Ave stores, substance user’s cocaine, pot, crank and prescription drugs that they passed around like tic tac’s, bouts of depression and anxiety. 17-year-old alcoholics who were just miserable and mean. I never knew one girl who was happy and they fed off each other’s misery. When I went home for Thanksgiving, told my parents about the drug and alcohol abuse and never returned. I'm sure they were all jealous when my parents listened to me and removed me from the school. This movie reflects that life. I'm sure most of the girls have had numerous trips to rehab and have psychiatrist on retainers, married wealthy men and are still as miserable and screwed up today, they just learned how to hide it better.
