all those that identify this a a simple rip off of elephant be there no other comment that you can make towards the movie on it own merit a an individual film ( regardless of it apparent similarity to other movie ) . all those that question the validity of the movie in term of it stereotypical character ( the obligatory gay and the jock and the disabled kid and etc ) i be not sure how long it have be since you be at school but regardless of how amateurish the acting may be the happening that go one be surprisingly close to what may actually happen . and all those that disregard the film a be so simple represent just six teenager with the regular teenage angst that push one over the edge . do anyone stop to think and and take notice that the girl who take her life wasn not actually one of those six . a one comment point out she have screen time of maybe 2min max ( exclude the final scene ) . i think the point of the film be not only to make an issue of teenage angst and and how far it can take someone but also that it be no apparently obvious who be always in danger of commit such an act ( suicide ) .
