Imo, a movie that accurately depicts the social atmosphere of a modern high school would have bullies from the 90s crying in a corner. High school kids today are fucking brutal with their insults. Also school shootings would have them horrified, because they wouldn't have seen coverage of Columbine

Reminder that the kids that did Columbine were the "nineties bullies."

Didn't they do it in response to being bullied?

Edit: Nope - they didn't.

Shooting up a school is all kinds of fucked up, but I'm not sure I'd call it bullying.

From memory, those kids were known bullies at the school.

Yep - some quick research says I was wrong, and that the bullied part was misinfo.

TIL - thanks!

Why on earth is this down voted?

Eric Harris would fit right in a Hannibal lecter novel.
