This movie is a representation of those teenagers who are facing similar type of abuse; emotional and physical. I loved this movie because it includes the real problem of all young boys. When I watched this movie, I remembered the time when I faced similar issues. During my hardships, my prayers were hardly listened and I could hardly find support. The realistic theme of the movie is based on real story of all the teenagers and the moral lies with how to empathize with the teenagers dealing with such problems.
