Kinda like going from Elementary to Jr. High School =) Look to the internet archive for those great lessons from the past ... "Getting used to the fact that you are one among many ..." http://www.archive.org/details/your_junior_high_days ...Man, this has got to be the realpolitik of junior high films. Blatantly realistic about the fact that you might not be the smartest, or most athletic, but that there are still things you can do, if you want to...
