If you watch the movies that came out in the eighties and nineties, many were about teenage drinking, smoking (mj), house parties and hooking up. The hollywood cabal were desensitizing us then, we just didn't take it seriously. But, just like with fashion, make-up, advertising and glorification of hedonism, the kids thought it was the normal way to have a party.
Then, netflix came out with "13 Reasons Why" and all the kids thought it was cool to watch it and the country got worried about teenage suicide. What did the country expect? Glorification of house parties and kids acting like adults at Studio 54 does not make for a happy ending. There is a scene in this series that I think Blasley-Ford pulled her story from. It is almost exactly what she described, or tried to when she wasn't crossing her eyes, or doing her "pretty pose." Just saying.
