Every one of us who hasn't flinched in our growth is really cool

The film truly reflects the distress and distress of those unconfident girls in adolescence.

Everyone who has low self-esteem may be able to see who he once was from the heroine.

Practice dialogue in front of the mirror and try to cater to the group; write down your own small goals in the journal, such as want to become confident and make many friends; want to be a cool girl;

Attracted by the handsome boys in the class, always looking at him;

Longing for friendship and care but embarrassed by low self-esteem, trying to pretend to be confident, the ending is always embarrassing or even embarrassing.

But this is all part of growth.

This is not a failure or error, everything is slowly changing because of this.

Kayla, who burned the time capsule, gave up recording the video. She bravely opened up to her father and reprimanded the classmates who had turned her sincere on deaf ears.

She met Geb, who was willing to listen to her voice, even if chatting without margins would not make her feel embarrassed.

The most heartwarming thing in the film is the video recorded by Kayla, a junior high school student, of herself graduating from high school. "The bad things you experience now will not happen to you all the time. Everything will change. You will never know what will happen next. This is exciting, scary and interesting."

So, maybe it's just that you haven't found it yet, the right direction, the right friends, and your mature self.

Everything is slowly changing. Do not be afraid.

This is growth. The process may not be as brave or fearless as we imagined, and it may even feel ridiculous or embarrassing in retrospect, but at least we did not choose to back down, which is really cool.

    Some surprises, because they are too similar. While other films achieve empathy through self-built logic systems through the emotional output of characters, this film, just the simplest technique, showed my adolescence vividly. On the one hand, they are eager to communicate with the outside world, and on the other hand, they are afraid of interacting with people. The virtual network has become a fragile and indestructible security barrier. I imagined countless personal styles in my mind, but in reality I had to admit that I was so ordinary. In front of a crush, I tried to summon up my courage countless times, but I was always flustered and clumsy and cute. In my heart, I knew how to break through my own truth, but I was discouraged. I thought that I could mingle with strangers more outwardly, but the estrangement was just blindly hidden. The only thing that differs from my experience is probably the role of the father, but it's such a silly love that is so endearing. Really, you've actually been great, is there anything cooler in the world than being with yourself? When you accept yourself, there is no fear. Come on~

    Therefore, such a father does not seem to need work, but spends most of his time at home. How did he cultivate such a stubborn little girl? A castle in the sky, displayed for display's sake, God's perspective is too wide open. If there's any place for success, it's probably a girl like this that I really find annoying, deserved and sick, only a few places where she behaves restrained. I have seen such rash and rude girls who are too much and pretentious. They are still disgusting when they grow up, and most of them become the type that turns cold and harmful. Something incredible came out, it was so peaceful. The actors are not brilliant, and they act very well. You see, this father showed a little more "mother love", and the child immediately took care of it... So what happened to the family life in the past ten years? faint!

Eighth Grade quotes

  • Mark Day: You're wrong. If you grow up to have a daughter like you, she will make you so so happy. Being your dad makes me so happy, Kayla. You don't know; you don't know how happy you make me. It's beyond... I can't describe it. It's so easy to love you. It's so easy to... to be proud of you. I'm not just saying this. I swear to God, I'm not just saying this. Sure, sometimes if I see you're upset or having a rough day, then I feel sad. But that kind of being sad, that sort of day-to-day sad, or worrying that I do, that's not... Kayla, always beneath all that, I am always so unbelievably happy that I get to be your dad.

  • Mark Day: If you could just see yourself the way I see you, the way you really are, then, I swear to god, you wouldn't be scared either.
