So lets promote their actions and behavior...


Seems to me that in making this movie all we (as a society) are doing is promoting this sort of behavior. "Hey, wanna become famous? Disrupt class, shout profanities at your teachers, discredit your school, and behave in an immature and demeaning manner! Then, we'll make a movie after you!" Yup, that seems like a brilliant message for a failing society. It is a sad day indeed when we promote and almost applaude rouge behavior. Is this really what we've come to? Is this all society is capable of? Being only 17, I surely hope we are capable of more, if not then our very existance can be deemed almost meaningless. And our new manner of thinking isn't even just limited to this movie. Lifetime is having a whole special on (their terms, not mine) 'Fallen Angels'. God help us all.

I hope so too. I hope they can learn from it, move on, and become decent adults. But the likelihood of that is slim. I'm sure we'll see them later: I'm sick of these kinds of people ending up as millionaires thanks to trash tv giving them fame, rewarding them for all the immoral, degrading BS they've done. I wish they hadn't made this movie, it's just giving them attn they want but don't deserve and perpetuating such ridiculous behavior.
