giving the film a 1/10 to drag the rating down

I liked the film. I didn't think it was great, but I thought the teenagers seemed like real teenagers rather than sloppy imitations of teenagers (and perhaps some of the main actors were actually teenagers, I don't know). I gave it a 7/10. I think those who vote a 1/10 just to pull down the film's IMDB rating are being petty. They seem to think that their opinion is more valuable than everyone else's opinion so they give it a really low rating to drag it down. I think that's really obnoxious.

To anyone who actually gave the film a 1/10, I challenge you to offer a criticism of the film which justifies such a horrible rating. Films that deserve 1/10 are films which are totally incoherent or lack even the basics which should be expected of filmmaking, such as having scenes edited into the wrong place, major continuity errors, lack of co-ordination between the sound track and the film so that characterss mouths don't match what they're saying. Even if you absolutely hated this film, I don't see how anyone could seriously justify giving it less than 4/10.

Giving a film 1/10 just because you want to drag the ratings down is realy obnoxious because it's a sign of your arrogance. By doing that, you're trying to say that your opinion is more valuable than everyone else's opinion so instead of giving the film a low rating which you might actually be able to justify, you lazily decide to give it the lowest rating possible. It's ridiculous.

And how about people who give a rating of 10 just because they are somehow involved with the film?
I think I have given less than ten movies a perfect 10 out of close to 3000 movies that I have rated, and seeing people rate movies such as this one a 10 just proves that the rating system here is useless.

I laugh in the face of danger, then I hide until it goes away.

Get used to it. IMDB is full of people who think they're the be all, end all when it comes to movies. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and all that--even when it makes them look like a pretentious film school graduate who stares at their diploma on a daily basis for some sort of half-assed affirmation--but none of them are more important than another regardless.
