What have you learned from these Breakfast Club quotes?

Did you enjoy your trip down memory lane?

You can pick up from the quotes some of the different stereotypes that exist within communities and in schools.

You can probably relate to the differences between the groups as well. 

But as the movie shows, underneath all the things that we think are different between us and others, we have many similarities underneath it all.

It’s an important lesson to carry forward and a good reminder to not judge others based on your preconceived notions about them.

Instead, take the time to get to know those that are around you for who they really are and hopefully they will do the same for you in return.
