Dangerous minds – the bullying we never really outgrow

THE film Dangerous Minds , released in 1995, introduced audiences to a classroom of young people navigating poverty, difficult relationships, troubled neighbourhoods and violence.

It left an impression on me not merely because of the unconventional teacher, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, but because it reflected how readily society associates troubled adolescents with the circumstances in which they grow up.

1995 年上映的电影《危险游戏》向观众展现了一群年轻人如何在贫困、艰难的人际关系、混乱的社区和暴力中挣扎求生。

这部电影给我留下了深刻的印象，不仅是因为米歇尔·菲佛饰演的那位特立独行的老师，更是因为它反映了社会是如何轻易地将问题青少年与他们成长的环境联系起来的。
