The speaker today brought up this movie, and I was one of two people who had ever heard of it.
He said it was written by a teenager. I watched it when I was about 14.
What I remember of it centers on sex, drugs, and violence.

A girl finds out she is HIV positive and goes to tell the boy she slept with.
She gets caught up in a party, ends up passing out on the couch, and someone rapes her.
Kids get high in the park and beat someone to death with their skateboards.
True life nightmares teenagers don't want adults to know about, and usually succeed in keeping well hidden.
Other movies this made me think of: Thirteen, Traffic, Basketball Diaries
This is one of the things that worries me the most about teaching high school or junior high, the fact that things like this happen.

So when things like this happen (or are about to happen) who do you want there in the school to deal with it -- you, or, um, you know, those other teachers?
