The others in the confrontation and fight scenes?

This movie is fantastic? I find it easy to relate to in various ways. But every time I watch and think about this movie at some of it's most dramatic moments, I always am drawn to the reactions of the others who weren't so much the targets of the bullies (Moody, Mike and cronies), but were involved through association. I was impressed by Shelley and Carson. I felt bad for them also, as they looked so worried and scared. Then I felt immense glee for Ricky, Clifford, as well as Carson and Shelley. That just seemed like so much of a weight they had lifted off their chests, the feelings of fear and oppression they must have felt. it was a well acted movie by all. Did you find yourselves feeling for the others also?

I just remember wondering if Moody's lackeys still hung out with him after the final fight, still saw him as their "leader" or if they all went their separate ways.

Well, I believe if a movie makes people wonder about the possibilities later on, then it was indeed a superb movie. Because I've played the movie forward in my head wondering what the following days would have been like. I like to think, that Moody's vail had been completely removed. And therefore was probably a real laughing stock amongst the other students lol.

That's what I was thinking too.
And I'd like to think Shelley soon has her braces removed, a new hairdo and wardrobe, and Moody was wishing he had been nicer and now wanted to date her.

I thought Shelley was adorable, even with her braces and wardrobe.
