Note: This article discusses topics including sexual assault and harassment.

Almost a year after the release of Sex Education, Netflix Australia introduced Heartbreak High, a watered-down imitation of Sex Education. Although not a complete copy, Heartbreak High will remind you of the famous Netflix series from start to finish. A coming-of-age drama with a constant test of sexual insight and a dash of female empowerment doesn’t excel. Row. A slightly different endeavor is the rise and fall of the  Cold War between Amerie and her best friend Harper, which is the focus of the main story.

This series may not offer you great brain-twisting humor or “heart” moments, but the eight-part long journey of a group of precocious, usually uneducated teenagers is entertained with their love a little. , intimacy, pleasure-seeking resolutions, and sexually transmitted diseases. Let’s see what “Heartbreak High” has to offer to keep our time busy.

The Stairwell Map. Why is Harper Not Friends With Amerie Anymore?

At Hartley High in Sydney, Amerie (Ayesha A.Madon)  met her best friend Harper (Asher Yasbineck) when she was five years old. At school, they were like an irreplaceable duo that was difficult to separate. Achievements culminate the two’s pranks in pranks where they used to have at their fingertips each student’s story from love to connect. In fact, they were so memorized that they made a card on the school steps dedicated to these things.

With different colored pens, these names stand out and glow on the wall. But problems arise when one day this card comes into view. The Headmaster immediately calls  Amerie, knowing it’s her job since she’s the one seen there. However, Amerie doesn’t want to blame Harper for being an inappropriate person now.

She said goodbye to her long blonde hair and now looks a lot like “Eleven” from Stranger Things, but along with her looks, her love for Amerie has faded and been replaced with hate, which is why she proposes to her as a best friend to everyone. Meanwhile, on the Stairwell map, Dusty (Josh Heuston), Amerie’s childhood crush, is linked to Amerie by the gold line. everyone avoids each other. Another minor character in the story is Darren (James Majoos), whose pronouns confuse his family and whose school friend doesn’t recognize them at all.

However, we see Darren, conflict-free, seek closure from his creepy friend, but his sweet and compassionate childhood friend Quinni (Chloe Haydon) accompanies her through all the ups and downs. Even after seeing Amerie being shunned and harassed by everyone across the map, Quinni is the one who stands by her side,  though Amerie makes a salacious reference to their physical differences. When the students’ ruthless intimate relationship comes into view, the principal, Mrs. House, decides to educate her about sex education, so she asks for help

from English teacher Jojo (Chika Ikogwe). Although Mrs. Woods doesn’t want to enlighten Jojo, she prefers to explicitly give misinformation about sex and mention an SLT class. An example of this is crabs or genital warts. It is spread by touching hands. Although he wants to teach about prevention or protection, Jojo doesn’t think his technique is very effective, but what else can you do? That’s all the director said.

Amerie, who attends a late-night party at the cemetery, forms a good bond with  Malakai (Thomas Weatherall), an unpopular kid at school who has just transferred to the school.

The school kids’ illegal drug activities turn into a nightmare when the police pursue them and take them home from their late-night party.

We see Dusty helping Harper escape, but the scene ends with the stair plan already being repainted by the school authorities. It looks like someone on this card is referring to Dusty and Harper, who are said to be physically close.

Whom Does Dusty Fall In Love With?

Our idea becomes even clearer when Quinni sees a map of Harper and Dusty’s intimacy drawn under a bench in  SLT class. She talks it over with Darren, but both want to hide the truth from their new best friend, Amerie. By now, the SLT class has already become the school’s eyesore, and everyone blames Amerie. Then Amerie feels all sorts of compulsions that lead her straight to meet Mrs. Woods and ask that this class be postponed.

But Mrs. Woods has made it clear that she will not fail the class in any way. Although Dusty invites Amerie to her concert tonight, Dusty’s friend Spider (Spencer) refuses to give Amerie a  (slap band) ticket to the party. , although Amerie doesn’t want to miss a chance to be close to Dusty. We see Quinni deepening her friendship with Sasha.

But that is not the case;

his father is actually a novelist and suffers from financial difficulties due to a lack of reputation. Darren has struggled long enough with a part-time job at a restaurant, but they help her father by raising money.

We are aware that Darren feels connected to Douglas, a student named Cash (Will McDonald) from the same school. Eventually, Amerie, accompanied by Darren, makes it to Dusty’s house where, since she doesn’t have a headband, she needs Malakai’s help to drop the cast, causing her to fall straight into the pool and injuring her leg. kiss When Amerie arrives at Dusty’s room, Dusty avoids her a bit and leaves the room for her concert.

Just as Amerie leaves the party. and walking down the street alone, Malakai comes to her side. Malakai puts ice on Amerie’s broken ankle, talks to her, and makes her feel better, but Amerie comes home heartbroken and destroys all of her and Harper’s old memories.

What Is Happening Between Amerie And Malakai?

Meanwhile, we see Cash robbing a clothing store with some of his rogue friends, a gang led by Chook (the leader), who is on the run for their lives from the police. Although Cash’s grandmother lives with Cash, he agrees to hand over the bag he stole from the store, eventually entrusting the bag to his potential crush, Darren. Cash. We see that both approach each other.

They start having “butterfly moments” together. Meanwhile, Harper confronts Amerie about apologizing for her pointless relationship with Dusty, who forgives Amerie for the sake of friendship, but Harper remains adamant in her decision not to mend their broken relationship.

Meanwhile, with the help of Darren, Cash loses his loot bag that he was hiding on the school roof. As a result, Cash’s gang boss hits him, which changes the color of his face.

When Amerie hears this, she runs to Harper without a second’s hesitation, but she is already sitting in her house covered in blood and house is surrounded by the police.

Heartbreak High Season 1 Ending Explained

Let’s talk about the chess pieces of the game from the beginning to that captivating end with all the intimate moments and drug addiction endings. As Amerie, Ayesha exaggerates Madon, you have to last almost 8 hours. Amerie appears to be a hot-blooded girl of rising age who is a character heavily inspired by Devi (“Never Have I Ever”). She’s accident-prone and stubborn at the same time, but eventually, you’ll come to think of her as the most logical character Harper die.

On the other hand, she is the most difficult character to assess as she misunderstands her longtime friend and breaks up with her within seconds, even humiliating her by beating her up in front of everyone where their little conversation ended in the last episode of the series clears the fog. So it doesn’t take long to think about why it takes Harper eight episodes to reveal her trauma. Harper was depressed from the start, as a result of her father’s wild behavior due to

poisoning, but we still can’t consider her a forgivable character for what she did to her best friend. She takes responsibility for taking Amerie’s love out of her life, for which she doesn’t even apologize.

He even gets chlamydia, which nobody knows about. Even the series ends with a blur of everything about her. Chlamydia is a serious illness that shows up as a randomly transmitted disease during episodes, which is not recommended. Other teenagers’ desperate need to be placed in the episodes and their lack of moral support put this series on the average list of existing “awakened” teen dramas, at least in my opinion.

If Heartbreak High season 2 ever comes out, I would advise you to wait for the new season of Sex Education rather than taste this inspired piece of history in a new glass.
