[quote=Anonymous]I liked it a lot. I REALLY liked the importance of healthy female friendships being depicted at that age.

I also did not see them at all as misfits. They did well in school, Tyler bullied them a bit but was also a more fully formed human by the end and in their friend group! The popular girls loved them! As soon as they knew she was the panda everyone was super into it!

She was humiliated when her mom threw her drawings out in front of the school but a popular girl would be JUST as humiliated by that.

None of them seemed like they were unhappy girls. On the contrary, they were goofy girls on the precipice of womanhood fangirling about their favorite boyband, and all seemed relatively confident in who they were! It was just a peek into the inner minds of tweens. I mean, very few people have a seamlessly non awkward trip through puberty. Its tough on everyone.

I have little kids and they liked it because of the panda, and it gave me a bit to think about as I looked down at my 6 year old girl thinking about her winding her way towards that age.

But I dunno, three best girl friends, boybands and tamagotchis? I'm in my 30s and this basically is my teenage years. And I was basically just a normal run of the mill kid, neither a popular girl or a nerd. Which really, is what these girls seemed like! It is not JUST misfits and cheerleaders in the world people![/quote]
