What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The primary sensitive topic is socioeconomic disparity. Georgia's scholarship status makes her feel insecure and 'less than' her peers. The theme is handled directly but gently, focusing on Georgia's internal feelings and the eventual understanding that kindness and talent are more valuable than wealth. The resolution is hopeful, as her strong character and hard work earn her genuine friendships and respect.
