After two years, Alyssa admitted that she had a problem. She turned to Bob Grunenburg (the school counselor) and said "Change me!" and so he did.

She was the first one in her family to graduate high school.

She wants to be a teen school counselor.

-Holley meets some girls from a skating team, she starts to party every night thats when she starts drinking. She has been used to not having alcohol in her life and inside the house (her parents doesn't drink). Her mother doesn't shock easily, but when Holley goes out to party she uses skills to make her not do bad things. She gets kicked out of the skating team and fired from her work at the bar. 

-The situation when the documentary ends: She has a boyfriend, and she isn't addicted to alcohol anymore. They have dragged each other out of the bars. They have plans of getting married.

- Self-dail: that she was an alcoholic

- In the future we think that they will have kids. If they keep together, we guess that Holley won't be a binge drinker anymore. Their kids will probably grow up drinking in an early age, because we don't think, that Holley acknowledges, that she in the past was a binge drinker, and then her kids will start drink very early.

Sharon drank because she felt on top of the world - she felt different and she felt she has control . She also got a kick - so he kept drinking. Sharon has a really bad relationship to her mom - and that is also a reason to her binge drinking


Sharon didn't went to school and other times she was in the school for 30 minutes. She hated when people told her what to do and she hated life - she wanted to be a succeed.
She lied a lot for her parents - also about really big things. 

She was mad at her parents for removing her away from Asian. Jasmine is Sharon's sister and she has a better relationship to the mom. But Jasmine also "grows" up.
One day she ran away and her dad found her - she got send to a boarding school.
She was raped  once because she was drugged.


She went to a rehabilitation center out in the woods for 3 months - but that didn't help her, she started drinking again when she came home


Now she has been sober for 4 years.

We think she has learned her lesson. She talks with her sister about binge-drinking to make sure that Jasmine doesn't get into the same kinds of trouble.

-Values: her idols, all died of alcoholpoisoning.

- She lies alot. She talk about books and politicalstatmens to make it look like she is not drunk.

She wanted some form of validation, and to socially evolve, another reason for her actions is that she wanted to just fade away for awhile, being someone else and forgetting all of her responsibilities. - her parents trust her

She finished her first freshman year

lies about where you are going

keep drinking pretend not to be drunk

- an acing school

- her in the future:

finishing her acting school, become an actress. and have more control over herself when she drinks.

- At some point in every life you get to an age, where you should stop drinking. But she thinks she couldn't stop if she wanted to.

in the interviews. - The film also uses fictional codes such as close ups during interviews to show the feelings of the girls, non-diegetic sound - mostly music.

-

The journalist shows herself by writing messages,

in which she describes herself "I". In some inter-

views we hear her voice asking questions. We

don't see her much during the film, but in the

quotes, she tries to affect us and to set the

atmosphere.

-

The journalist seems pretty objective, but it is

clear, that she has a message.
