    This is a fabulous movie that should be viewed by all teenagers and parents! It brings up two very prevalent issues painfully dealt with in silence due to family "no talk" rules as we all must pretend we are fine. There are far too many teenage suicides & teens shooting people or growing up to do serious things as families are so determined to keep up the bluff and ignore the signs. This movie brings out teenage depression and cutting. Information on both needs to be shouted from rooftops. The cast was marvelous and did an excellent job of airing these problems. Dr. Minervas was terrific and I feel handled the treatment with perfection! I sincerely hope that mental hospitals are run in this manner to address our sociey that is so in need of the wonderful treatment exhibited in the movie!

    Excellent, alittle sappy at times, but pretty good. Made light of a serious subject, but at the same time made it relevant to mainstream. Excellent soundtrack.
