silverscreen - yessss, watch it. yeah it's a nineties flick and a bit different from what we're used to these days (less "edgy" and slick and all that) but it can really get a rise out of you. it was really good at kinda provoking a dream-weirdness but also the sense of being in high school with these girls and their evilness. the name "heathers" sounds so sweet, right? makes you think of rolling hills and wildflowers ...

When you think about it, Heather Chandler was strong in her own way because at least she didn't copy anybody, but in another way she's caring what others think of her. For example, at the frat party; she hated every minute of the frat party but she went along with it because it would appear as if she was weak and a prude. But she was in reality weak for trying not to look weak. Damn that was a tongue twister. LOL

And I really empathize with you about the school thing. I had always been outgoing and sociable until I switched schools after 8th grade. In 9th grade, I was so lost like a fish out of water. For most of 10th grade, I was teased by this one kid for no apparent reason, and I tried to be nice. But at the end of that school year I realized why the kid continued to bother me, and that was because he knew he could and I wouldn't do anything about it because I was such a nice guy. So from then on I just made more friends and stayed focused on schoolwork, primarily English and writing, and things went smoothly. It's funny, I saw the kid in the hallway a year after and we said what's up to each other and it was very cordial. It really made me feel good because it meant I had moved on and that life had gone on.

Anyway, this whole discussion really proves what a worthwhile and powerful movie "Heathers" is. Thmilin, you seem so cool. I never knew someone who thought the same exact way, and especially in relation to "Heathers."





yup, totally agree about the frat party - by TRYING to look like you don't care, you are in fact hurting yourself more. you are in that act believing you are weak or wrong for caring so you are trying not to be/do something you are/want to do.

overall, we can see the Heathers are examples of what society does to itself. These girls may have once been like Veronica, but became Heathers. oooo, scary. They think they're trendsetters, but everything they do with themselves is to please others (appearances for those they want to be liked and admired by) and everything they do to hurt others is just an example of what's been done to them. The abusees becoming the abusers.

yes, i'm sure there are others out there who went through the same crap. you just gotta live through it to get it, basically. some people are lucky (or maybe not?) to never get it. sometimes i used to get jealous of the "happy people" blissfully unaware of what it means to be resented or disliked because everyone's just always liked them and given them what they wanted, no problems, no questions asked. then i realize those are the same people who WILL see tragedy one day in some form and not know how to cope with it at all.

life's a crucible, and I'd rather be teflon tough. HA!

i thank you for your kind words! though i must stand up and say, I DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK I'M COOL. but thank you, just the same.
