and maybe you can help me with it.

After reading reviews, I got the sense that the movie features what I've

come to think of as the kind of over-the-top nasty, disrespectful teenagers

that Hollywood specializes in....I argued and talked back to my own parents growing up,

but did actively disrespect disrespect them in the ways I've seen "screen teens"

do, and I honestly detest it.

How would you rate the film's teens in this regard?
