Quotes 

• Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : Now Blair, I know you're going to be mature about this.

  Blair : How mature am I going to have to be?

• Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : You girls are under a lot of pressure, to achieve, to succeed, to fit in, to grow up. And I wanna tell you it's okay to feel confused and frightened and insecure, we all do. And when you feel that way, oh God, please talk about it.

  Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : But what about people who have nobody to talk to?

• Joanne 'Jo' Polniaczek : I was mad as hell too when my friend Gloria killed herself. I mean, one minute, we was splitting a tuna fish sandwich, and the next thing I knew, she was all over Columbus Avenue. No reason, no goodbye, no nothing.

  Blair Warner : Well, there's gotta be a reason. We just haven't found it yet.

  Mrs. Edna Ann Garrett : We probably never will. Some kids reach a point where they can't see any other way out.

  Natalie Green : At 16, what could be so terrible that it would make you want to stop living?
