LOVE THIS MOVIE! IF IT'S ON WHEN I'M CHANNEL SURFING DIRECT TV, I STOP NO MATTER WHAT ELSE IS ON. I LOVE THE WAY HE STARTED AT HIS NEW SCHOOL. I DID THE SAME THING WHEN I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE MOVED A LOT WHEN I WAS A GIRL. I WENT TO THREE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN THE SECOND GRADE ALONE. I LEARNED TO BE "SILENT & DEADLY" BEFORE I MADE FRIENDS. THERE WERE A LOT OF "MEAN GIRLS", BUT I GREW UP FIGHTING MY OLDER SISTER. I DIDN'T TAKE ANY CRAP AFTER THE FIRST GRADE. MY SISTER USED TO CHASE ME WITH AN AX! I LEARNED HOW TO STAND UP FOR MYSELF AT SCHOOL. HOME WAS HELL. WHEN I WAS 11, I THREW HER OUT A CLOSED WINDOW. IT WAS OVER AFTER THAT. SHE IS STILL MEAN AND CRUEL. SOME KIDS NEVER CHANGE, BUT "THE NEW GUY" CAN GIVE ANYBODY HOPE (AND A PLAN).
