Even though Leo wanted to cheer Stargirl and enjoyed what she had taught him, when everyone turned away from her and Leo who also was involved in the treatment because he was her boy friend, he couldn’t come at the pressure and couldn’t spend time with her. As a result, even Leo who truly loved her conformed to get the conformity. It shows that the society of teenagers requires people to be in accordance with one another. At first, students in Mica High School seemed to have fun watching her behavior, but once they noticed it was unusual, everything turned upside down. They didn’t accept her actions or anything at all. It represents the complex circumstances that all the teenagers would face. People tend to look at others’ external appearance in order to evaluate them. It suggests we only need to look at their personalities. If we were able to focus on their traits and value each other, the situation or society would go much better and smoother. Also, this fact gives us the chance to reconsider how we behave at school.

Conversely, Stargirl and Dori had kept their unique characteristics. Most of teenagers tend to listen to gossips, but they didn’t pay any attentions to it. They worked on everything what they wanted to without caring what people think generally. They had kept and lived their own ways. It confirms if people could step over the surface where people usually stop doing something (since they are embarrassed),they will feel at ease and their lives will be more enjoyable.
