Super Bad
Kevin brought home this movie that was highly recommended by a co-worker of his. I had remembered seeing the previews several months ago but it wasn't the kind of genre of film I was interested in. I didn't like the amount of vulgarity that was used. As a teen, I don't remember using so much slang nor was I pre-occupied with drinking/obtaining alcohol. My parents didn't drink alcohol so we didn't have any around the house. My first drink could have been in college or later. Come to think of it...I don't remember going to unsupervised highschool parties where they served alcohol.
Tianna is nine years old and I am really scared that her teen years will be different from mine. She's already more outgoing than I was at her age. I couldn't watch the scenes in which the teens were drinking or making out fearing that this could be my little girl.
Shockingly, Kevin found it a waste of time also, while others would argue it was hilarius and filled with urbane intelligence (coworker). We didn't finish watching the movie as it became unbearable.

I have no interest in that crap either. There are certainly bigger pockets of the super bad in HS these days, I'm sorry to report (remember I was a teacher and I stay in touch with a lot of the old gang). But that doesn't mean you can't guide your kid into making better choices. But films like this just encourage them to make the worst choices. They think they have to live like the movies. Be strong. Don't give up.

We thought it was pretty over-rated. It had some funny moments, but I had a hard time sympathizing with the male lead, Seth. He was annoying and obnoxious -- why would any girl want to date him? I thought it was cool that they had the female lead not drink.
At my high school, unfortunately, that language was used pretty regularly as were drugs and alcohol (it was low income, outside of the military kids).
