This month marks the 20th anniversary of the 90s’ best teen movies, 10 Things I Hate About You. And hey, any excuse to re-watch the romantic comedy of errors! Not only were the characters iconic (breakout performances from Julia Stiles, the late great Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa Oleynik) and ’99 style game strong, but the teen angst lessons on everything from life, love and Prada backpacks pitch perfect. So, to celebrate the film’s milestone on March 31st, here our round up of the pearls of wisdom gained from Kat Stratford and the gang
Stay true to yourself
…and, yes, sometimes you’ve got to be cruel to be kind
Speak your truth
And the art of sarcastic flirting
Inner beauty counts more than anything
Don’t feed the male ego
Teen party etiquette, parents will never take this one lightly
Everyone’s best loved line
It’s cool to challenge others. Even your teachers.
Sometimes outrageous displays of affection will melt your heart
