A Walk to Remember
April 7th, 2008
This movie has got me thinking about many things. But the most important idea that this movie taught me is that to be careful and be aware with the people you’re with. (ex. Hanging out..) There’s a lot of peer pressure, especially when you’re in your teen years. Maybe there are things that are ‘classified’ as being ‘cool’, so, most people/youth will try and follow that path.
Even though you’re not aware of how you really are or who you are, just maybe there’ll be that one person who will get/find the best in you. Sometimes, the friends you hang out with at the moment won’t be doing you any good, and instead, holding you back from your full potential. Like in this movie, Landon and his group of friends, made a bad choice in playing a trick on one of their peers. They said it was some sort of initiation for him to be included in the group. In consequence, this teenager wound up in the hospital because of the want in being including, made him do something stupid. (jumping in shallow water from a high point).
And as I’ve already said, at least once in everyone’s life, you’ll find that one person who will open up your eyes. When saying this , I mean that ‘special’ one that everyone will find and truly love with all their heart. In this case, Landon found Jamie. With his usual ‘friends’ who constantly bugged her and made fun of her, (mostly on how she dressed) he persued her. There were some of his friends who didn’t accept her, and had to leave and ‘forget’. I’m not trying to say that leaving everything (all your friends) just for one girl (or boy) will be worth it. I just think that if those people are a bad influence to you, the best thing to do might be to let go. There are some cases where it can be your turn to be that person who will make an impact in their life.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that we should all be aware and thankful for those people. To have friends and be popular, might not always have a smile on your face in the end. Making good choices and choosing the right people to be with will make you live life in a better way.
