The students at Granite Falls High School create stereotypes to label their peers at Crossroads, an alternative high school in the area, until Challenge Day comes to town and breaks down their exclusive attitudes.
I went to Granite Falls HS back in the late 90's and I can tell you we never had cliques back then. Everyone knew everyone else and we all got along fine. Really sad to see the school has gone south in that regard.
I know how these kids feel. It made me cherish my life, and how good it is. I cried the whole time
Those people are soo Nice =) Wish They could come over here to Norway =)...its such a beautifull thing they do..helping people
i cried its very sad
I gotta give it to Max in this episode. Very brave kid to show emotions like he did.
Me too.
This reminds me of my High School.Cept i had to drop out since all the school cares about is sports and the people in sports and cheerleading and if your not in the "Prep" or "Jock" group,you dont matter.One of my math teachers failed me because i wasnt in any groups,besides band.So now i have to get my GED.Wish i could go on this show and show everyone how horrible our school is...
Carrisa isnt even emo ..?
every 1 has a share in this life
you'd be surprised at how much people open up when they're given the opportunity
i always cry every single time I watch "If you really knew me" :((
i cry everytime i watch this show!!!
I thought 'emos' were in the 80s?
uh...I went to Granite Falls high school with all of these people. i don't want to talk **** about any of them, especially online because it would be rude. although i can say that kathy is legit, a great girl and really cool. the rest of those people, excluding maybe tessa she was nice, and Corey who is also a great guy, were all portrayed in a very over dramatized light and i feel much of their true personalities (the bad parts) were excluded. Secondly, Granite Falls High school only has like 700 kids. everyone got along pretty damn well considering the fact that it was so small and there were so many 'cliques;. there were groups of people that dressed similar but regardless of that everybody still talked and hung out. it never was really a big deal. honestly the majority of the school were all just 'partiers' as they put it. the kids stories are true and im not discrediting their life experiences or the hurt theyre experiencing from it. im just saying that mtv over dramatized and played up a lot of things that were completely irrelivent. it was pretty rediculous.
When I was in high school my style changed alot. Freshman year I was hardcore Goth....no emo, just wanted to make that clear, I was goth before Emo really hit the scene on the east coast. then Sophmore year I was considered a 'stoner' or a 'partier' as classified in this episode. Junior year I ditched the dark clothes and tried out the 'prep/punk' style as most of the magazines called it (I hate that) then Senior year I was a rebel, I skipped, partied and didn't fear standing up for myself or my friends. I was picked on like everyone else... but once you walk down that Graduation line, none of that matters anymore. Its all about maturity.
Damn you MTV you have me in tears....
at thee endd att max's part i like just startedd ballinng liike legit
this was hard to watch i lived in granite falls as a kid i have family there and some good friends and this town is a place i love and want to go back to there are some things at this high school that are different today then when i went there and that is we all got along and were all friends no matter what and there are a lot of us that still are even after 22 years Davie, brenda ,Tim, Haley , Sam and so on and i hope we will be for the rest of our lives and i hope these kids can find the same !!
i rly lik this show, but to be honest i think half (maybe even more) of the show is fake. i doubt tht anyone wuld share their personal stuff or secrets with others, especially ppl u barely tlk to. i doubt tht u can be this happy rite after challenge day. yea, its fake, but this show sends out rly meaningful and important msges. i dont mind tht it seems fake, cuz its very emotional and i wuldnt feel alone. i kno thts theres others out in this world tht has problems in their life. all in all, this is a meaningful and fantastic show. :)
