I like this series more and more with each episode. But it was so unpleasant for me to hear the opinions of the mothers of the girls from Casey's team about her transfer to another school. Why should she give up a better future for some kind of team competition? It wasn't her who acted selfishly and meanly, but her "friends"
@ricci_ricci: Parents themselves say that their daughters can't run well without Casey, so why would they want to compete at the expense of one other child? Now, if there was one among the group of excellent runners who would not "reach out", as if they would not kick this child out of their group...
I think they wanted to enter the competition at Casey's expense because in America, grants and scholarships are provided at universities for athletic achievements. With Casey's help, they wanted to arrange a future for their daughters at no cost.
The pharmacist got embarrassed while buying condoms hahaha I am surprised how parents choose the right words and support their children. Everyone should have a friend like Sam, a really cool dude. At the end, my reaction is, "That's a twist."
Being offended by a girl who wants to arrange her future and leaves school is not cool, but having a quiet party over one student with autism is also a strange idea. Yes, it's clear why Sam's mom and girlfriend are in favor of this, it concerns them personally. They just don't really think about other kids. You can listen to music with headphones every day. And then there's the school dance. A Small Event. It's good that they organized a vote, but for some reason it wasn't the students who voted, but the parents.
And about "loneliness and social isolation." As if dancing would help Sam solve these problems. Sam is fine with that for an autistic person. Family, girlfriend, friend, therapist. And this does not mean that if he strives for solitude, then he is lonely. He is comfortable alone or in a close social circle. He loves it. Hanging out with a crowd of teenagers at a dance will not give him release from the "loneliness and social isolation" that his mother is so afraid of, because it would be terrible for her, but for a guy it's normal or even good.
It's strange that the mother was outraged that the headphones would interfere with her daughter's hairstyle. At that time, there were already TWS headphones. And Sam could wear them, why would he need these bulky ones.
@Russllann: it's strange to me because in the end, any styling that Elsa did was covered with those headphones) she said it like it was some kind of solution, I thought there would be special styling...
I was surprised that my parents reacted negatively to the quiet party. I think it's very cool. When I was studying in Norway, going to such parties with friends was very cool! Silent disco was the name of the event, it took place once a week and everyone was looking forward to Wednesday to get to such a party 😄 You take off your headphones and hear the whole club singing in unison, put it on and immerse yourself completely in the music, dance, don't get distracted by conversations around and extraneous sounds, you could still switch between two "stations" if you don't like the music. Pure buzz 🥰 Recently I was looking for whether it is possible to find such events in my city and was very upset that the equipment, apparently, has not yet reached Kiev)
So the plus in this would be not only for Sam, but also a new experience of cool pastime for others. Strange, though😒 Parents do not fumble, in short, they carried nonsense about hairstyles and exclusivity of one child, depriving children of the opportunity to have a cool time) imho
Everything is very strange. If we ignore the question of why the moms organized a club of discontent about Casey's departure, then why do they express this discontent specifically to Casey's mother, and not to the coach who sent her there? And if the whole team depends on one athlete, what did you expect in life? Maybe Casey is now "indebted" not only to Sam and her family, but also to the girls who lack her level? This is utter nonsense. But at the same time, Casey hadn't thought about Clayton before. This offer came out of the blue and she abruptly jumped at it, maybe she just wants a change, but still on a mental level and is not ready? And next to that is the winter dancing moment. But here I really understand those who were against it. Sam doesn't want that. Basically. But he is forced by his girlfriend and mother, completely ignoring the fact that he does not like crowds of people or such events. And it's not just because of a person with disabilities that all the fuss is about, but precisely because of the mother's movement, which shouts to the whole world about her son's exclusivity, even though it makes him feel bad, and is angry at his father, who does not support this movement. I don't know. In fact, everything is depicted quite vitally, there is no balance in support and upbringing. And Sam is a lucky guy, of course. I also had time to look at the boobs. It's a pity we weren't shown the moment of reconciliation between brother and sister. In general, I would like a little more disclosure of their relationship on an emotional level.
It's a shame for Casey, I would like more support and attention from not only her family, but also her friends/running team. Admission to a new educational institution is so important and exciting, we could at least be happy and support her.:(When arranging your future, you need to pay less attention to the opinions of others, otherwise you will settle complexes and self-doubts for the rest of your life. As for the ball, it's really more a whim/desire of Sam's mother and his girlfriend to arrange it for him, he might be fine without it... but you'll never know what's best for you until you try different scenarios.
