YES I COMPLETELY AGREE!!! I used to watch Lifetime all day. Especially when I was home from school on bed rest while pregnant, or just plain old sick! They were very emotional. But they opened up my eyes about a lot of things especially toxic relationships, and teenage pregnancies. They got to you to your core!! I TRULY wish they would come back with movies like this again!!!!
@@lanimitchell9637yesss! My favorite part of being sick and staying home from school was watching Lifetime movies! They were definitely better movies back then!
My mom and I were incredibly close. She made me feel like I could go to her with anything and everything, and I did. She even told me once, “There are some things I *don’t* need to know.” 🤣🤣🤣 I cracked up laughing…and so did she. I held nothing back from her. She passed away unexpectedly when I was 21; she was 55. I miss her so much. She was an AMAZING mom, and I wish all daughters could be as open with their moms as I was with mine. EDIT: 1k likes?!? Oh my gosh. Thank you all so much. 🥹♥️
How heartbreaking that you lost such a great mother so young! I know she is still watching over you and you will get signs from her- all you have to do is ask for the signs and they will come! Love and hugs!
It really bothered me how her “friends” pressured her to tell but once the truth came out. They turned their backs on her and talked about her right along with everyone else
@@paulomontero12 Stats show that inappropriate teachers are on the rise, male and female! They go after the weakest link. These are the kids that don't speak up. Movies like this bring the necessary dialogue.
Actually Amy's mom found out to be correct. Amy did not volunteer that information. She got busted and then she played the victim and acted like she didn't know right from wrong. If Amy's mom didn't figure it out Amy would have never told nobody
@@samanthasteiner4194 well how is a kid supposed to k ow when you have a teacher telling you otherwise. Kids are much easier to manipulate, which is why people try to indoctrinate them so they'll be adults that "listen" to them. Even adults are susceptible to manipulation which is why people stay in domestic abuse situations.
I'm not going to watch this because I saw this movie a long time ago on Lifetime, and I'm too busy to take time out of my day for it, but I ended up searching for it because that one scene when Gary Cole's character takes the young woman out of class really stuck with me. He was willing to put his job at risk for that young lady. If I recall, she got him in serious legal trouble and made him lose his job when she could have been his girlfriend and the long-term solution. Ungrateful
I grew up in this neck of the woods and this era. I can tell you that the jock worshipping culture is -or was - everything there. This guy got away with so much because he was a coach! This was a well made movie.
Same with me, I had a coach/teacher for algebra and he was so nasty. He ended up years later as the principle at my daughters middle school. He got fired for having an affair with a teacher.
You should move to Los Angeles. They worship women here to the point where they could be fat and disgusting with tattoos all over, a high body count, bastard kids and multiple abortions and people will call them stunning and brave. You'd probably love it
Please, is American life really like this? Ive always wanted to spend a year there but after watching TikTok things with someone screeching “ call the cops” because someone touched them with a finger, im not so sure. Maybe thats a minority. Id love to just rent a place and live American. Or with a family. x
I had a PE teacher that did that. Lol Nothing wrong with him to be clear but it was a running joke and at the final assembly one of the kids did a skit about it on stage. It was so funny. I'm now 40 and still giggle lol
@@tessajones9393 because why do they do that? 😂😂 I’m glad he was a good guy though! I had a dance teacher who did that. Long story short, he went to jail & is now on the run because he didn’t update the registry thing when he moved. 😭😭😭😭
Same goes in any sport, professional or highschool level. Got NFL players accused of rape and sexual harassment and get signed to big contracts as long as they can throw or catch a ball who cares about the victims they've traumatized. Smh
This movie was spot on !!!!!😢 On how some adult predators manipulate children 😢 I was so proud of her bravery, and I pray everyone will learn from this. And realize they have a voice and keep speaking out until someone listens. I know that I know this movie will give someone the confidence and courage they've been looking for 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤✝️
@@sylviabriggs4087She agreed after having been convinced of being special. She was starting to fall in love and had to wake to a bitter reality that made her sick. She was disgusted and was fighting between pride and self-esteem, trying to gain back her dignity.
I love to see movies with Nicholle Tom because she is such a good actress. She always plays the slow, naive character so well, very convincing actress! Actually, both Nicholle Tom and Juliette Lewis play these type of roles to a T! I absolutely love these old movies!
We had a coach like this. He'd mess around with the cheerleaders and he did it for 20+ years. He started teaching Drivers Education a few years before I started High School, I had heard the rumors but didn't think he'd ever bother me. During DE, you have a partner, the last day my partner was absent, as we finished the last day I excitedly asked "Did I pass!?" He reached over & rubbed my leg & replied "I don't know, Did you?".. I was frozen, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I pulled into the school parking lot & started walking home. The next day he handed me a slip saying I had failed my Drivers Ed course. When I got home my mom asked if I was ready to go get my license, I showed her the slip & she said "You've had all 100%,how could you have failed" i told her what happened... that night she told my dad. My dad had went to school with him & knew about his reputation.... when we told the school what had happened, he denied everything, said the fail slip was an accident and passed me. Several years later he was officially busted!!!!
@@TinFoilCat90lol. Your bigotry is showing. Small town mindset has nothing to do with it. Like the big city schools don't care about sports?Look at the cases in real life just this past year all in the cities and leftist teachers over 150 sex abuse crimes
For a child, it's as much the mental and emotional harm as the physically. It's heartbreaking. In so many instances in this film, people could and SHOULD have said or done something.
This is what bothered me, too--the librarian, other teachers, other students and nobody not once bothered to tell the parents?! And the boys' reaction in the gym like the fallen hero... so disgusting. We need more women in leadership positions to recognize where policies still protect the man and vilify the victim.
I think this movie has been highly underestimated for quite a long time. It touches a very sensitive subject that nowadays has become a great concern about children abuse and molesting. I wish we could actually watch it often in TV, as it is indeed very educational both for parents, children and teens. Gary Cole is definitely a great brilliant actor! He managed to make me hate him before the first 5 minutes into the film! (Which is pretty much the point), and immediately saw him as a disgusting manipulative man, even when I used to have a crush on him before this movie!😍 which means his performance is excellent! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Definitely more educational rather than entertaining.
@@washcaps71 It’s not suppose to. Suppose to mentor and be an adult. I read an article about how you can tell a predator. Usually they’re very immature for their age.
I think this movie is a grand example of why parents should stop trusting school systems with their children. It's no one else's job to protect your children but you, the parent. Parents will always be responsible for their children, even if they don't want to be.
It happened to my friend when we were in high school about 25 years ago. It was awful and we could not stop it. Until her dad found out 3 years later and beaten the 💩 out of him. She lucky moved on and got married and had children with a nice man. The events in this movie happens more than people realise.
It happened in our local HS with the principle. Though she was 18, it 'was not professional' from the outside looking in; whether he was married or not (which he was) and it was not a relationship. She did for the kicks. He was dismissed, and was moved to like, 3 towns over. Idk what happened with the wife. This is a small town, but, it blew over and fast as it happened.
I agree. Some of these things happened at my high school. It's a tough issue to solve due to the broken systems. But talking about it and bringing awareness helps us build better systems. I'm glad your friend moved on with a happy life!
The young actress who played the lead role in this TV movie also appeared in "The Nanny" TV show as Margaret Sheffield, the daughter of Maxwell Sheffield. She excelled in both dramatic and comedy roles as a young actress.
Abuse of power is exactly what it is! Every adult knows that teenagers are vulnerable to undue influence, abusing that vulnerability is nothing short of criminal!
That's exactly what it was, abusing power of authority. The school was just as guilty he was, they knew there was inappropriate contact going & they did nothing about it.
What a brave girl! It's sad, and it's happening more than anyone imagines. She bravely went through with it even with severe repercussions from her classmates ❤
I think the best response, when she asked her mom "how do you know when you're in love?", is when you're secure with yourself and love yourself first. and you feel like you can completely trust the person. and you don't feel like you Need them. It took me a long time to learn that for myself.
I think that it takes most of us a long time to learn this! Self-love and self-worth aren't like a switch you can turn on all of a sudden/both take time!
@karenjoslyn4051 Yeah it didn't matter how many times you told me something in my youth. I had to learn it for myself. Just like the witch in the Wizard of Oz said.
That's a very good point Sheila. This movie is a cautionary tale about what could happen if the trust between authority figures and children,teens,and/or young adults is extremely violated.
I agree as long as the teachers don't learn mistakes to not get caught. They should have made this teacher get more than five months considering there were rumors he does this every year pick a girl
This is the reason why people tend to not say anything. Instead of saying what took them so long to come forward? Why not ask why do people tend to respond to victims that way and treat the victims the way they do? SMH. It is REALLY sad. Even small children tend to be treated that way unfortunately.
The fact that a law has to be put in place so CHILDREN aren't sexually violated at school says a lot🤦🏾♀️ The whole thing was just sick sick sick. My God humans just really piss me off with this type of unjust nonsense. Once a young woman is violated in this way she will NEVER be the same! R.I.P to all the innocence lost at the hands of a predator! Another great old school lifetimes original. Those were truly the days❤
You are correct, a woman /girl who is violated especially in this wwmat. My mom was abused by her 5th grade teacher, and her sisters were abused by the same man as he went on to middle school, highschool and finally, he's the principle of the high school her youngesy sister graduated from 😩😩😩 my grandparents refused to listen to my mom when she was 11. Calling her explosives and saying she's a liar or dressing like a whor3😩😩😩😭😭 soy he is still the principal today 😭😩😩😩😩 But my mother hated sending her daughters to public school, she ended up homeschooling us, and who could blame her, seriously? When I was in 4th grade and had a male teacher, she freaked out when she saw the lttl closet area with the phone inside of the class room, because her own a user(teacher) would hide her in the closet so nobody would are her. He even got her, at 11, candies on Valentine's Day, she truly thought this man was her boyfriend 😩😩😩😭😭😭
@Fred Carpenter Not really.. Keep your hands off underaged girls, how gross!! My god she didn't even have a real legit license.. Then ya got that dirty fu**in hillbilly town where everyone stayed quiet cause their scared lil cowards. At the end of the day, keep your hands off of girls who are barely 16 years old. Its gross
@@NiecieSavo I know right! Like how many times did they have to bring it up to that ditzy principal before he finally does something! Crazy how things have changed since back then..
Bottom line, he's married with kids, he's her teacher, a minor. I would've reported him right away. Doesn't matter, if he's attracted to you. It's hands down wrong!!
I'm so glad that this girl friend saw something off about the teacher from the beginning. Girls please if u sense something is wrong or if a teacher gives u bad vines stay away from them. It starts off small like cute notes or compliments but even those are not appropriate for a teacher to say to a student it's disgusting
I don’t care what anyone says, if a teenager is under the age of consent for sex, it is indeed coercive behavior. He was the adult and he knew better!!
Even at the age of consent a full grown adult has no damn business with a teenager. The only interest there is sexual and they definitely are still naive and are extremely susceptible to abuse.
So happy to see these movies again !!! So sad we dont have programming like this anymore !!! No one takes the time to tell a story anymore like we used to 😢
You know, the father was not sure that anything was going on,he might have thought that IF something was going on he ould be able to sense it from the coach. But the coach was behaving like it's rumours and he had his kids and wife with him and nothing was true what people talked. Thhe father probably felt well yes of course it's just ugly rumours.
The father thought it was okay since her friend and coach daughter which all of them are the same age are there so that why he didn’t think of anything 😢
What an excellent movie. The acting was great, and I'm glad that in the end justice was served. Today we see teachers going to jail for A LOT longer than the little 5 months this creep got.
I had a music teacher like this we had our teachers emails for school work of course but he was sending inappropriate messages about it how we looked and what he wanted to do to us but I’m grateful for my principal as soon as she found out she took action and fired him. I’m glad we kept the proof.
Our Coach did the same thing to us, HE ended up getting arrested after going through about 100 girls...it was quite sickening...My best friend saw him backing me into a corner in the GIRLS locker room...Coach Sanborn...I will never forget his name.. nor his face...
So sad! Im so sorry this happened to u guys n it honestly makes me really angry. I always say if we were to always report snd actually punish men who have ever done this there would almost be no men left👀 thats how often this 💩 happens smh.
The fact that she was ostracized and blamed by classmates and community members is unreal. The wasteman confessed what's the issue.. how do you only get 5 months is nuts
It is always those who choose to stand up and do something about something that gets beaten up(literally and figuratively). May be because we have so much ugliness in our society that it is easier to not acknowledge them. Thus, people choose the bliss of ignorance. Or in this case, ignoring.
Everyone is just as sick as that perv that laughed at her and not believe her. He should of gotten more jail time also. The last part when her and her parents were arguing about the situation made me cry. So 😔 sorry for all the victims who actually go through this. The actress and all the actors and other actresses did am outstanding job in reenacting this unfortunately true story.
I bet you if Nash was strictly just a teacher and not a sports role model, everyone would’ve sided with Amy. Always seems to be about sports that they care more of, especially football and/or basketball
Watching this as a teenager back in the 90s, the thing that enraged me the most was that her parents bought her a car without her even having a license... Watching it now, I am definitely seeing how awfully sick this relationship is... ick.
I went through the same thing,I was groomed and molested from 9 1/2 - 13 by my friends much older brother, and my so called friends all called me slut,wh0r3, etc……. Even my best friend who knew the whole truth was calling me these names and talking about me behind my back. I have felt this exact pain. And I’ve dealt with finally coming forward with a whole different situation, and being treated like I was the one in the wrong, my 1st time going to the police ,I was reminded as to why we didn’t come forward 😢
I'm so sorry honey, you are none of those horrible names you were called. You were abused and groomed. You deserved so much more protection, support and love. ❤️🫂 Wishing you a kind and gentle recovery and life 🙏☀️🎁👑
We actually had something similar happen at our school... it's hard to remember all the details at this point, but I recall we had a handsome coach (as a teen I remember being attracted to him, as I'm sure many girls were) and he was overall very popular/well liked. And I think it came out that he was having "inappropriate" relationships with students.. I don't know what came of it though.
Girls want to be boned as well. Yet male student bones a teacher the guy is lucky. Jennifer Lopez made a teacher student movie she tried to make out she was taken advantage of by the student. Could be true. More likely the aggressive girl takes advantage the guy who's wife just took the kids and the dog. Women so pampered now. Feminism is supremacy and lies
More about these men being sick in the head literally! This is based an a true story and in this case a child molester! Sick.Sick.Sick!!! She's only 14!
This story is a common one across small towns in Oklahoma in the 70's and 80's when I was growing up. Once caught, the coaches just moved to another town and started over with their next victim. I was amazed how many of the wives stayed with the POS. It was always viewed as the girl's fault and they were ostracized as a liar and slut.
I watched this movie when I was 13 and when I was 17 a male teacher( drama coach )pursued me.He said I'm pretty and all .even called me ..I remembered this movie and told him it was inappropriate.I told my mom and she complained to the School board.He was under close watch.Later he resigned.
I can’t believe how so many defended him when SHE IS THE VICTIM. Calling her a slut, trashing her front yard, and her reputation being ruined. She’s a child and he’s A GROWN ADULT. He knew what he was doing and thought he was untouchable b/c of how this town backed him all cause he was a coach for the football team 😡
He was in the movie "Fatal Vision," a true story, which is an incredible film. Very tragic and horrific but definitely worth watching. He was the main character in it. Jeffrey R. McDonald. He was simply AMAZING in this movie. I believe he was also in a TV show a while back called Midnight Caller.
He was also in the Brady Bunch movies where he played Mike Brady and he was also in the movie "In the Line of Fire," with Clint Eastwood. Among others.
When I was in high school my psychology teacher showed up at my house to see me one night. Just to talk. I was shocked. I stood outside and talked because I knew my Dad would have a fit. When I went inside after he left my Dad asked who that was and I told him. He was livid. Shortly after that the teacher was fired. When I asked the other students if any one knew why, they said they heard a parent complained about inappropriate behavior toward their kid. All the students were mad and wanted to know who the student was. I was afraid my Dad was the one who called the school which was the kind of Dad he was! I never asked because I didn’t want to know. This was back in 1978. The teacher was very popular with the students but that was way over the line.
As a lifelong chubby girl who's always adored Sara Rue, I really wanted her to clock his smarmy ass. The fact that his adult character was even passing comments on teen characters' bodies was enough ick for me.
There are predators everywhere .not just in schools. Churches are full of them as well. The mistake parents make is not having these discussions with their kids and esp teenagers. It angers me to no end to see these stories but it happens daily. At least now the schools arent covering for teachers like they once did. Its sad that Amy was treated so poorly by classmates and the entire town. She was just a child seduced by an adult she was suppose to be able to trust.
I couldn’t agree with this more! I watched a documentary on young girls who were sexually abused by nuns and throughout the Catholic Church for years and years I was absolutely mind blown! It’s always said that church is your safest people but that is genuinely not true it’s heartbreaking!
Tons of female teachers keep getting caught having sex with students and they get a fraction of the time a man would for the same crime. Do you ever speak out about that or are you a massive hypocrite that only cares about your own gender like most women?
The fact that he openly fratenizing girls, got caught abd reported by another teacher. But the schooll principle took no notice bc he coached the football team on a winning streak. This happens a lot when people in authority turn a blind eye on such abuse, is quite repulsive. Sue the school, move away fr that hellhole. Use that money to go to a good college and bust your butt and make something great of yourself.
You should have said sue all they ass down to the principal, all teachers who were aware, cops who did nothing at all, torture his ass near death, use some of the money to secure her future, go to college, create a solid law that will stick it to these nasty muthafuckas or kill they ass all together ,and live her best life possible
Look at how the Principal was hugging the Cheerleaders and making comments about their looks. That's why he turned a blind eye, not just because of the Football team.
HES HOT .PLUS ITS A SHE SAID HE SAID WORLD. IVE ALWAYS BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH THE GUYS MY AGE OR ONE YEAR OLDER. EVERY GIRL HAS GOTTA START BEING INTIMATE AT SOMETIME OR ANOTHER ANYWAY. SHE WAS ATTRACTED TO HIM. TROUBLE IS THE HOTT GUYS R ALWAYS THE RAPISTS!!!!!!!!!!!! PLUS I NEVER WENT TO PARTIES IN HIGH SCHOOL AND NEVER DID ANYTHING DARING. LOST MY VIRGINITY TO A GUY 10 YEARS OLDER THAN ME. HE HAD A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY WAS HOT AND HAD A GRAT JOB AS A COMPUTER ENGINEER.
@@WeddingPartyinCranston I understand you really well. I'm 24 years old and I don't feel mentally mature to have a relationship, even less having sex with someone. It's embarrassing but it's the truth.
@@yamiletsoler3464 nothing wrong or weird about waiting until you're sure you're ready. I was 19 and felt like an old freak, so I get it. But I'm glad I waited until the exact right time with the right guy. Most women don't, & end up regretting it. You'll be so glad. Take care
I’ve seen this movie couple a time ugh this coach is so sick. The scene when Amy sleeps over at his house and during the middle of the night he wakes her up and says it’s time….good lord. I
Omg, that scene where he writes that she looks pretty today, brought back so many bad memories of when I was 14 and in the 8th grade, my teacher wrote something worse to me. Please talk to your kids about being vigilant and cautious of their predatory behavior. Just sickening 🤮🤮🤮🤮
@Matt Adams he wrote, If I was him I wouldn't have let you go. The context was, he asked us to write about what we did this past summer, so I wrote about helping my aunt move her friend into her own home and meeting a guy who said that he couldn't see me anymore because he didn't have a car and clearly I didn't as I was just 13 at the time.
@@juliaivanitskiy269 that was a mean thing to say. Of course not knowing the context the phrase is absolutely harmless, so he wouldn't have gotten in trouble if someone saw the note. But I thought at first your teacher was hitting on you, just like the coach did in the movie.
@Matt Adams he did other things, he purposefully would rock back in his chair whenever I had to get up and walk out of the classroom. And when he wrote what he wrote in my journal, that wasn't all he wrote, he also said that it was his loss and had drawn a smiley face. That's not appropriate to write to a 13 year old girl. There were already rumors circling about him at school, about his advances towards other female students and he would purposefully ask them to stay after class and then when they missed their bus, he would drive them home, it wasn't a one time and isolated incident. He would also find the Simpsons episodes of the big breasted beer girl, literally just those. And the first time that he leaned back in his chair, his head bounced off my rear, that was the last and only time because I figured out a way to walk around him.
"Something's bothering you? Parents?". There, right there, him turning her against her parents, making her believe that he cares about her more. Typical behavior.
Not only was Coach Nash committing crime by having sex with a minor, he was also committing a crime by buying wine-coolers for minors. Coach Nash had no morals or pause to him at all.
Kinda heartbreaking in the opening scene....seeing her stuffed animal collection and watching her putting on makeup --- no longer a little kid but not yet a woman...
I had a teacher just like this in the 8th grade. Me being so young, not ever at that point had a "real" boyfriend, kinda made me feel pretty special. NOTHING ever happened but he would pat me on the butt, hold my hand, get me out of class to , yep, grade papers and "work" with him, especially once he started in the office. Im pretty sure these men know exactly what to look for so they can get what they want and make it seem everything is ok, talks the girl into, this is what she wanted.
I know what it’s like to be 14, innocent AND crushing on a 20-something year old man. The guy kept me at a distance until one day aggressively making out with me. I didn’t like his kissing style but thought ‘that’s what love must be like’. It went no further than that. It was torture. This movie plays it out accurately how confusing and exciting adolescence is and I don’t blame girls like Amy one bit.
Back when lifetime had good movies worth watching. I miss the 90s, and love seeing these movies available to watch for free on here!

Gary Cole can play any role. This movie should be shown in every school. Thanks for the upload!
Omg I agree it made me hate him but he plays the teaching predator so good.
Why does it need to be shown to high schooler’s? Not a good idea.
He's in surprisingly a lot of LMN/Made-for-tv movies. I've been on an "addicted to old LMN movies" binge lately. Lol 😅

I agree
I grew up in this neck of the woods and this era. I can tell you that the jock worshipping culture is -or was - everything there. This guy got away with so much because he was a coach! This was a well made movie.
Same with me, I had a coach/teacher for algebra and he was so nasty. He ended up years later as the principle at my daughters middle school. He got fired for having an affair with a teacher.
You should move to Los Angeles. They worship women here to the point where they could be fat and disgusting with tattoos all over, a high body count, bastard kids and multiple abortions and people will call them stunning and brave. You'd probably love it
Same here. In 1996 I was 16, when this movie was made, and living in a town in Texas. Our high school football team was sooo important.
Please, is American life really like this?

The school cared more about the football team then the harassment of the students.
Same goes in any sport, professional or highschool level. Got NFL players accused of rape and sexual harassment and get signed to big contracts as long as they can throw or catch a ball who cares about the victims they've traumatized. Smh
Coach or Teachers hurt them bad way and they are tell Parents
Schools don't always care about the students and I been to plenty that favor abusive parents over neglected students.
The "King Football" culture is still alive and kickin' today, everywhere. Disgusting.

We had a coach like this. He'd mess around with the cheerleaders and he did it for 20+ years. He started teaching Drivers Education a few years before I started High School, I had heard the rumors but didn't think he'd ever bother me. During DE, you have a partner, the last day my partner was absent, as we finished the last day I excitedly asked "Did I pass!?" He reached over & rubbed my leg & replied "I don't know, Did you?".. I was frozen, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I pulled into the school parking lot & started walking home. The next day he handed me a slip saying I had failed my Drivers Ed course. When I got home my mom asked if I was ready to go get my license, I showed her the slip & she said "You've had all 100%,how could you have failed" i told her what happened... that night she told my dad. My dad had went to school with him & knew about his reputation.... when we told the school what had happened, he denied everything, said the fail slip was an accident and passed me. Several years later he was officially busted!!!!
Wow. I'm glad you told your parents. I hate it when pervs like that get away with shit.
nice, at least you passed.

34:58 that little girl knew something was up. A lot of people think little kids are naive but they are very intuitive and smart.
I thought the exact same thing when she was looking at her like that…
Always thought the same thing. The way she was looking at Amy definitely says she either saw or heard something.
If that is the case, that would traumatize her as well. Poor little girl
Omg yeah, I was wondering that too like did she see them go into the room or hear something?? Ehh
Yep. They don’t have much to do all day but people watch and pick up on things.
The amount of teachers abusing kids has skyrocketed since this movie came out...that's what is sad...

I think this movie has been highly underestimated for quite a long time. It touches a very sensitive subject that nowadays has become a great concern about children abuse and molesting. I wish we could actually watch it often in TV, as it is indeed very educational both for parents, children and teens.
Gary Cole is definitely a great brilliant actor! He managed to make me hate him before the first 5 minutes into the film! (Which is pretty much the point), and immediately saw him as a disgusting manipulative man, even when I used to have a crush on him before this movie!😍 which means his performance is excellent! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It’s not suppose to. Suppose to mentor and be an adult. I read an article about how you can tell a predator. Usually they’re very immature for their age.
@@washcaps71 reading is fundamental
I think this movie is a grand example of why parents should stop trusting school systems with their children. It's no one else's job to protect your children but you, the parent. Parents will always be responsible for their children, even if they don't want to be.
It happened to my friend when we were in high school about 25 years ago. It was awful and we could not stop it. Until her dad found out 3 years later and beaten the 💩 out of him. She lucky moved on and got married and had children with a nice man. The events in this movie happens more than people realise.
It happened in our local HS with the principle. Though she was 18, it 'was not professional' from the outside looking in; whether he was married or not (which he was) and it was not a relationship. She did for the kicks. He was dismissed, and was moved to like, 3 towns over. Idk what happened with the wife. This is a small town, but, it blew over and fast as it happened.
Nothing exciting ever happened where i grew up.. back end of nowhere in cornwall england, glad im here now !
@@flight101 Sounds peaceful & drama free!! Love it!!
I agree. Some of these things happened at my high school. It's a tough issue to solve due to the broken systems. But talking about it and bringing awareness helps us build better systems. I'm glad your friend moved on with a happy life!

Abuse of power is exactly what it is!
Every adult knows that teenagers are vulnerable to undue influence, abusing that vulnerability is nothing short of criminal!
That's exactly what it was, abusing power of authority. The school was just as guilty he was, they knew there was inappropriate contact going & they did nothing about it.
What a brave girl! It's sad, and it's happening more than anyone imagines. She bravely went through with it even with severe repercussions from her classmates ❤
I think the best response, when she asked her mom "how do you know when you're in love?", is when you're secure with yourself and love yourself first. and you feel like you can completely trust the person. and you don't feel like you Need them. It took me a long time to learn that for myself.
😊 Yes
I think that it takes most of us a long time to learn this! Self-love and self-worth aren't like a switch you can turn on all of a sudden/both take time!
@karenjoslyn4051 Yeah it didn't matter how many times you told me something in my youth. I had to learn it for myself. Just like the witch in the Wizard of Oz said.

Stupid ones
a must watch for all parents, young girls and boys and teachers as well. story well told.
A must watch for those who have to complete TPS reports.
That's a very good point Sheila. This movie is a cautionary tale about what could happen if the trust between authority figures and children,teens,and/or young adults is extremely violated.
I agree as long as the teachers don't learn mistakes to not get caught. They should have made this teacher get more than five months considering there were rumors he does this every year pick a girl

Yes because she, changed all of a sudden..
There is no intuition, there is keen observation.
This is the reason why people tend to not say anything. Instead of saying what took them so long to come forward? Why not ask why do people tend to respond to victims that way and treat the victims the way they do? SMH. It is REALLY sad. Even small children tend to be treated that way unfortunately.
The fact that a law has to be put in place so CHILDREN aren't sexually violated at school says a lot🤦🏾♀️ The whole thing was just sick sick sick. My God humans just really piss me off with this type of unjust nonsense. Once a young woman is violated in this way she will NEVER be the same! R.I.P to all the innocence lost at the hands of a predator! Another great old school lifetimes original. Those were truly the days❤
Exactly
You are correct, a woman /girl who is violated especially in this wwmat. My mom was abused by her 5th grade teacher, and her sisters were abused by the same man as he went on to middle school, highschool and finally, he's the principle of the high school her youngesy sister graduated from 😩😩😩 my grandparents refused to listen to my mom when she was 11. Calling her explosives and saying she's a liar or dressing like a whor3😩😩😩😭😭 soy he is still the principal today 😭😩😩😩😩
But my mother hated sending her daughters to public school, she ended up homeschooling us, and who could blame her, seriously? When I was in 4th grade and had a male teacher, she freaked out when she saw the lttl closet area with the phone inside of the class room, because her own a user(teacher) would hide her in the closet so nobody would are her.
He even got her, at 11, candies on Valentine's Day, she truly thought this man was her boyfriend 😩😩😩😭😭😭
This teacher doesn't seem worried at all about being seen with her. He does all this stuff right out in the open.

I don’t care what anyone says, if a teenager is under the age of consent for sex, it is indeed coercive behavior.
He was the adult and he knew better!!
Even at the age of consent a full grown adult has no damn business with a teenager. The only interest there is sexual and they definitely are still naive and are extremely susceptible to abuse.

But the coach was behaving like it's rumours and he had his kids and wife with him and nothing was true what people talked. Thhe father probably felt well yes of course it's just ugly rumours.
Yeah letting your daughter go camping with a grown man is not ideal at all
The father thought it was okay since her friend and coach daughter which all of them are the same age are there so that why he didn’t think of anything 😢
True! Be careful who you allow your children to spend time with. The fact that his wife, kids, and her friend were there didn’t stop him.
This movies a tad unrealistic

All too often good-looking high school coaches take advantage of girls who hero-worshop them. It's all about ego.
We actually had something similar happen at our school... it's hard to remember all the details at this point, but I recall we had a handsome coach (as a teen I remember being attracted to him, as I'm sure many girls were) and he was overall very popular/well liked. And I think it came out that he was having "inappropriate" relationships with students.. I don't know what came of it though.
Girls want to be boned as well. Yet male student bones a teacher the guy is lucky. Jennifer Lopez made a teacher student movie she tried to make out she was taken advantage of by the student. Could be true. More likely the aggressive girl takes advantage the guy who's wife just took the kids and the dog. Women so pampered now. Feminism is supremacy and lies
More about these men being sick in the head literally! This is based an a true story and in this case a child molester! Sick.Sick.Sick!!! She's only 14!

This story is a common one across small towns in Oklahoma in the 70's and 80's when I was growing up. Once caught, the coaches just moved to another town and started over with their next victim. I was amazed how many of the wives stayed with the POS. It was always viewed as the girl's fault and they were ostracized as a liar and slut.
That's incredibly sad
I doubt it was only in Oklahoma and only in the 70's and 80's!

He was in the movie "Fatal Vision," a true story, which is an incredible film. Very tragic and horrific but definitely worth watching. He was the main character in it. Jeffrey R. McDonald. He was simply AMAZING in this movie. I believe he was also in a TV show a while back called Midnight Caller.
He was also in the Brady Bunch movies where he played Mike Brady and he was also in the movie "In the Line of Fire," with Clint Eastwood. Among others.
Thank you to the girl this true story was based on for setting a precedent. Thank you so much ❤
When I was in high school my psychology teacher showed up at my house to see me one night. Just to talk. I was shocked. I stood outside and talked because I knew my Dad would have a fit. When I went inside after he left my Dad asked who that was and I told him. He was livid. Shortly after that the teacher was fired. When I asked the other students if any one knew why, they said they heard a parent complained about inappropriate behavior toward their kid. All the students were mad and wanted to know who the student was. I was afraid my Dad was the one who called the school which was the kind of Dad he was! I never asked because I didn’t want to know. This was back in 1978. The teacher was very popular with the students but that was way over the line.
He definitely has to look through school records or follow you home. Did you ask how he knew where you lived? Very disturbing.😖

There are predators everywhere .not just in schools. Churches are full of them as well. The mistake parents make is not having these discussions with their kids and esp teenagers. It angers me to no end to see these stories but it happens daily. At least now the schools arent covering for teachers like they once did. Its sad that Amy was treated so poorly by classmates and the entire town. She was just a child seduced by an adult she was suppose to be able to trust.
I couldn’t agree with this more! I watched a documentary on young girls who were sexually abused by nuns and throughout the Catholic Church for years and years I was absolutely mind blown! It’s always said that church is your safest people but that is genuinely not true it’s heartbreaking!

The fact that he openly fratenizing girls, got caught abd reported by another teacher. But the schooll principle took no notice bc he coached the football team on a winning streak.

Things like that are still happening too.
You should have said sue all they ass down to the principal, all teachers who were aware, cops who did nothing at all, torture his ass near death, use some of the money to secure her future, go to college, create a solid law that will stick it to these nasty muthafuckas or kill they ass all together ,and live her best life possible
Look at how the Principal was hugging the Cheerleaders and making comments about their looks. That's why he turned a blind eye, not just because of the Football team.
So true. This is based on a true story well and article or piece that was written I want to say in 1985 about a coach in either Texas or Oklahoma.
It’s literally insane how bold he was, kissing her in public?! It’s even crazier how I would’ve fell for exactly what she did!
Same I would have been the same way as her at that age.
HES HOT .PLUS ITS A SHE SAID HE SAID WORLD. IVE ALWAYS BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH THE GUYS MY AGE OR ONE YEAR OLDER. EVERY GIRL HAS GOTTA START BEING INTIMATE AT SOMETIME OR ANOTHER ANYWAY. SHE WAS ATTRACTED TO HIM. TROUBLE IS THE HOTT GUYS R ALWAYS THE RAPISTS!!!!!!!!!!!! PLUS I NEVER WENT TO PARTIES IN HIGH SCHOOL AND NEVER DID ANYTHING DARING. LOST MY VIRGINITY TO A GUY 10 YEARS OLDER THAN ME. HE HAD A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY WAS HOT AND HAD A GRAT JOB AS A COMPUTER ENGINEER.
oh AND LASTLY I WAS 21 WHEN LOST VIRGINITY. BUT IM ALSO IMMATURE SOCIALLY THAN MOST WOMEN MY AGE SOOO 21 FOR ME WAS JUST TOOOO YOUNG STILL.
@@WeddingPartyinCranston I understand you really well. I'm 24 years old and I don't feel mentally mature to have a relationship, even less having sex with someone. It's embarrassing but it's the truth.
@@yamiletsoler3464 nothing wrong or weird about waiting until you're sure you're ready. I was 19 and felt like an old freak, so I get it. But I'm glad I waited until the exact right time with the right guy. Most women don't, & end up regretting it. You'll be so glad. Take care
Poor girl had her innocence ripped away by that creep
What a jerk, she is still a little girl holding a stuffed animal. She is confused!
She was longing for a more innocent time…..
I’ve seen this movie couple a time ugh this coach is so sick. The scene when Amy sleeps over at his house and during the middle of the night he wakes her up and says it’s time….good lord. I
That "its time" makes me feel so sick I skip it whenever I watch, so predatory.
He was such a creep
The coach are abusing Amy ... Also he are Jelousy and Anger
Thanks, no point in watching it now lol
@@mnolandful oh no didn’t mean to spoil it there’s more to the movie please do watch
Omg, that scene where he writes that she looks pretty today, brought back so many bad memories of when I was 14 and in the 8th grade, my teacher wrote something worse to me. Please talk to your kids about being vigilant and cautious of their predatory behavior. Just sickening 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Your friends knew about that? What did he write to you?
@Matt Adams he wrote, If I was him I wouldn't have let you go. The context was, he asked us to write about what we did this past summer, so I wrote about helping my aunt move her friend into her own home and meeting a guy who said that he couldn't see me anymore because he didn't have a car and clearly I didn't as I was just 13 at the time.
@@nitelad only one friend knew, she protected me from him, thankfully he wasn't our teacher for long.
@@juliaivanitskiy269 that was a mean thing to say. Of course not knowing the context the phrase is absolutely harmless, so he wouldn't have gotten in trouble if someone saw the note. But I thought at first your teacher was hitting on you, just like the coach did in the movie.
@Matt Adams he did other things, he purposefully would rock back in his chair whenever I had to get up and walk out of the classroom. And when he wrote what he wrote in my journal, that wasn't all he wrote, he also said that it was his loss and had drawn a smiley face. That's not appropriate to write to a 13 year old girl. There were already rumors circling about him at school, about his advances towards other female students and he would purposefully ask them to stay after class and then when they missed their bus, he would drive them home, it wasn't a one time and isolated incident. He would also find the Simpsons episodes of the big breasted beer girl, literally just those. And the first time that he leaned back in his chair, his head bounced off my rear, that was the last and only time because I figured out a way to walk around him.
"Something's bothering you? Parents?". There, right there, him turning her against her parents, making her believe that he cares about her more. Typical behavior.
Absolutely. Spot on.
Kids are so naive and vulnerable. But yet they think theyre grown up. Too much of this crap goes on in our schools. Its a sick world we live in now.
"This one time, at Band Camp!" Anyone else? Lol
Thats exactly what came to mind!😂😂😂
Thank you for the movie.
Good cast.
❤
Gary Cole--- "yeah, if you could just watch this movie, that would be GREEEAAAAT!" (OFFICE SPACE)
Not only was Coach Nash committing crime by having sex with a minor, he was also committing a crime by buying wine-coolers for minors. Coach Nash had no morals or pause to him at all.
I absolutely hated how he was always like Amy can I see you here, can I see you there at school. Such a huge violation of authority and trust.
Her friends did her wrong I wouldn't abandon my friend
Exactly they completely abandoned her. I thing the chunky friend was jealous when the coach lifted them all up and he told her to lay off the fries.
@@christines1821 yea I think she was jealous she should have been worried about her friend
Hypocrisy - Schdenfreude - Cowardliness - Mob mentality‼️‼️‼️
They definitely weren't her real friends. They sucked.
@@christines1821 Chunky friend xD lol I can't stop laughing. and yes she was jealous
Thanks so much for uploading this. Its the best quality version on RUclips. One of my favorite Lifetime movies. Can we submit requests?
For My Daughter’s Honor is also on Tubi and Amazon prime
@@ElvisPresleyfan80i downloaded it on my laptop last year
Only gets 5 months in prison?!?! Pardon?!!?
Probably was still permitted to work at the school 🏫 still too.😢😖
@@RottenPeach0 yeah true 🤦🤮
Our justice system is a joke
@@kdizzle901 it certainly is!
@@RottenPeach0no I don't think so
Kinda heartbreaking in the opening scene....seeing her stuffed animal collection and watching her putting on makeup --- no longer a little kid but not yet a woman...
Sounds like a Country song 🤠
I had a teacher just like this in the 8th grade. Me being so young, not ever at that point had a "real" boyfriend, kinda made me feel pretty special. NOTHING ever happened but he would pat me on the butt, hold my hand, get me out of class to , yep, grade papers and "work" with him, especially once he started in the office. Im pretty sure these men know exactly what to look for so they can get what they want and make it seem everything is ok, talks the girl into, this is what she wanted.
Must be a culture thing,
In India you would be surprised but even 6 year old girl child knows that touching no matter what who do is wrong
I know what it’s like to be 14, innocent AND crushing on a 20-something year old man. The guy kept me at a distance until one day aggressively making out with me. I didn’t like his kissing style but thought ‘that’s what love must be like’. It went no further than that. It was torture. This movie plays it out accurately how confusing and exciting adolescence is and I don’t blame girls like Amy one bit.
Dude stfu you seeked him. Just like I seeked the adult women at that age.
