why is eighth grade rated r that was the most relatable movie abt being a teen I'd ever seen. like.. teens should be able to watch this
#smudgy.txt#sorry i was just thinking abt this movie again & its like.#lots of ppls teen years are shit & so confusing & everyones always denying everything u say bc ur a teen#& for some reason everyones got it in their head that teens arent worth listening to or even treating as human#& having someone who Gets It is like. invaluable#from what i remember this movie is so awkward & theres so much secondhand embarrassment but#thats literally what being a teen was for me#& i feel like if i had this movie when i was 14 i wouldve been obsessed w it lmao#like just. ignoring who the director is#OR not actually bc while so much of his work is so typical Cishet While Comedian i feel like hes had a lot of valuable shit to say in his#more serious stuff#just his work that explores anxiety & depression meant a lot to me as a teen dealing w that stuff & constantly being told my#problems were nothing & that i should keep them to myself#i don't think hes funny (& i think mainstream standup as a whole is just. eugh.) but ill always value having that feeling of being seen#anyway where was i.#ok i was looking at commonsense media for the movies rating & i read the reviews on the front page#& this is just typical commonsense media bullshit but the parents were writing that this movie isnt for kids (young teens specifically)#bc the teens in the movie talked abt s3x. like.#one of them said that kids dont talk abt s3x. LIKE??????#sorry. my siblings n i used to go on that website for the comedy of White Suburban Parent Panic & im still flabbergasted to this day#anyway the overall consensus seemed to be that the movie was good for kids 14+ bc it was so realistic#& encouraged talkjng w ur kids abt if it feels relatable to them/why & if they could see the mc as a role model for her bravery#so at least whoever put the movie up had some common sense. media. hehe#*oh wait ig its not#main consensus then itd be whoever added it#ANYWAY. break over i gotta continue cleaning
