Storyline
At the edge of adolescence, Tracy is a smart straight-A student--if not a little naive (it seems...she smokes and she cuts to alleviate the emotional pain she suffers from having a broken home and hating her mom's boyfriend, Brady.) When she befriends Evie, the most popular and beautiful girl in school, Evie leads Tracy down a path of sex, drugs and petty crime (like stealing money from purses and from stores). As Tracy transforms herself and her identity, her world becomes a boiling, emotional cauldron fueled by new tensions between her and her mother--as well as, teachers and old friends. —Miss Kittin

Realistic, even if you don't want to believe it
I'd recommend watching this move for the last big scene alone. One of the best movie scenes I've ever seen.
It might be that I also can identify with a lot of the issues, watching at the 13 year old self. Very well executed.
