Before us is a story from the life of an ordinary girl, devoid of that Hollywood glamor, which is filled with today's cinema. Using the example of the main character of the dramatic comedy "Eighth Grade", we will see what the growing up of modern children is like. At the center of the action is an eighth grader named Kayla. The girl is on the verge of adulthood - soon she will go to high school, which means there will be many changes. In her free time, the student runs her own blog, in which she shares with subscribers her impressions of various events taking place in her life. Among other things, the girl gives useful advice to help her peers cope with a variety of difficulties known to every teenager. Self-doubt, meeting a good boy, makeup, studying, friendship with classmates and relationships with parents - this is not a complete list of topics that Kayla touches on in her videos. The heroine's recommendations should not be taken as a guide to action, because she is just a child who knows how to learn from her mistakes and strives to become an adult as soon as possible. At the same time, despite her conscientiousness and caution, Kayla often finds herself in awkward situations. But even failures do not force the schoolgirl to turn off the intended path.
