Boy #2: ”I left my girlfriend 27 messages last night.”(He confidently explains.)
Scene #4: (Scene changes. A teenage girl stands over her mother — who is sitting in front of a mirror, sorrowfully gazing – the girl smiles)
Girl #2: ”I made my mother cry”(She says proudly.)
Scene #5: (Scene changes and speeds-up into fast forward. A teenage boy is shown waking up on a couch after what appears to be a party where he was intoxicated. As the scene continues in fast forward motion, people draw a mustache and uni-brow on his face, and put cheese curls in his nose as a prank. They write “DORK” on his forehead and “I (heart) Sara” on his cheek. The people disappear. He opens his eyes and looks at the camera.)
Boy #3: ”I let people draw on me.”(He exclaims happily with a smile.)
Scene #6: (Scene changes. There is a guy sitting in the drivers seat in his car, parked in front of a garage.)
Boy #4: ”I ditched my friends and they had to find their own way home.”(He says in a very excited and happy voice; he smiles and nods approvingly as the scene fades away.)
Scene #6: (Scene fades away. Screenshots of all six smiley, self-confident, and proud teenagers flash by. The overall tone is clearly sarcastic.)
