Duke, Kurt, Ram, Martha, Ms. Fleming and Company The screenwriter of Heathers (Dan Waters) actually grew up and went to high school in my hometown. I like that. It seems to validate the medium-grade misery of my own high school experience. Maybe South Bend, Indiana, offers the world a paragon of teenage malice against which others might measure their own cruelty. It's not so great if you're in high school now, I suppose, but it lets me convince myself that things were really bad and I wasn't just being a big ol' pussy about it. If I were more litigious, I could embark upon a groundbreaking court case in which I sue my high school for the cost of my antidepressants for the remainder of my life. But I know that if I won, my high school—being a Catholic school—would just have me rubbed out to cut down on the payout. The Catholic Church has other, more pressing expenses right now that you may have heard about.
