2) On the first day of school, the man this girl has s*x with turns out to be her teacher and the two continue to have a relationship anyway.
3) A friend shoplifts, gets caught and her mother has s*x with the detective in order for the charges to be dropped. The mother also tells the daughter to lie and say it was a misunderstanding. Later her boyfriend turns her down when she wants to sleep with him because she seems desperate by throwing herself at him. She steals his car and wrecks it to get even. She is also bulimic.
4) A different girl thinks she is gay, has a female friend over for a sleep over and they share a bed. They cuddle. Later, they kiss in a photo booth at a party.
5) Another teenage girl is kissed by her older sister's boyfriend when he enters her room and tries to seduce her. We discover later that she has kissed another older man.
6) During a flashback, this group of friends lit a bottle rocket and threw it into another less popular girl's garage. Unfortunately, it sets the whole house on fire and there is an explosion. We know that someone was inside and she was blinded.
7) Two girls smoke m*rijuana.
8) Foul language written in letters and with lipstick on mirrors from a mystery person who is taunting them over a friend who was murdered. They are all hiding what really happened to her.
