Good insight I grew up in the 80's.
I just want to say, I was succumbed to bullying for 3 years, from 8th grade to 10th, (school I went to started at 7th, because the religious school I attended, closed, so we were pretty much forced to transfer to the high school, small town), and started to decrease in 11th, because by then I was fed up and was causing ohysical fights. I don't think, I would have been able to do videos on YouTube, or even have social media because of the bullying and the public humiliation.
For Kayla's character I admire her strength to be this inspiration and uplifting girl with so much great advice, despite her not having it all together herself.
I'm just glad we didn't have social media back then.
I feel, I was very much like "Kayla," nervous, quiet, and I always felt different.
Movie was a bit triggering, but I praise the actors and actresses, for doing such a great job.
