Girls Rock (movie)

So today in class we watched the Girls Rock movie and I thought it was okay.  Of all of the people they could have interviewed, they only chose two that a girl my age could relate to.  The Korean girl I could relate to because I AM an outcast.  I chose to be different and I accept the consequences.  I also know what it is like to hate everything about yourself like the Korean girl did.  I am not the right size to make friends easily, and I have a personality that is sometimes "out there."  Also, I have been told that I am very intimidating at first glance, which does not make me very approachable by strangers and potential friends.  This fact also makes me very self-conscious because of the fact that most people make the assumption that I am "big and scary" and therefore not friend material.  The other girl that I could relate to was the girl with long blonde hair.  I, myself, have had a hard past including, but not limited to, drugs and domestic violence and rape.  So, I know how hard it is to be a functional teenage girl in society with all of the problems of a past bothering you.  She and I are also similar in the way that we both bullied our way through school so everyone would leave us alone over stuff that is none of their business.  These two girls are my favorite because they were not the snotty rich little girls who have everything handed to them like the other girls they interviewed.  The two little girls that they focused on, sure they have problems, but they are still young and resilient and are able to bounce back more easily, and they also have time to cope and get used to their problems because their problems don't exactly have solutions.  Overall this was a good movie, but rock camp for girls, for a week, is expensive, and even poor girls, wait, ESPECIALLY poor girls need boosters.  So, making generally wealthy girls feel good at a camp is all well and good, but what about the girls who cannot afford camps like that.  They, too, are faced with the same derogatory messages and images as people who are well off.  So, what about the less fortunate, how are they supposed to get the great feelings of being a woman?
