Which character (or characters) do you consider yourself to relate to the best and why?
Me personally, Lyle, except for the fact that I'm not violent. You can tell hes doing his best to be able to deal with his problems in the ways that he feels he should. The problems from his past with his dad, things like that. You can tell he's the kind of guy that wishes he was still a child but is facing the harsh reality that life and growing up can be *beep* sometimes
Yea, I related to Lyle except for being violent as well. I could relate each of those characters to someone I knew when I was in the mental hospital. I remember the big bully kid who wanted to beat me up as soon as I entered the unit, I remember the goth cutter girl, I remember the punk/skater cutter guy with shaggy hair. It was like they had plucked them right from my memory.
I'm in the process of writing the story of my hospitalization right now. Maybe for publication someday, but mostly just for my own sake. But if I decide to publish, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone accused me of plagarizing this movie. That's how real this movie seemed to me.

oof, um the blonde girl that said her family is sort of like people that live in a hotel. I dunno I clicked with that one.

I would think....Sara. (Minus the gothness, but Chad if I were a guy.)
shareEven though I'm a male, I have to say I'm most like Tracy, because like her, I'm usually pretty quiet and I have a hard time talking when I'm around large groups of people.
Although I'm also like Sara, because I like to draw and I have sort of a weird sense of humor like her.

Lyle in every single way except almost killing a kid with a baseball bat, but besides that. every detail of him reminds me of myself.
