However, perhaps the day shown in the movie - when Joe praised her work, when she was able to successful counsel Corey, when her friends demonstrated how much they cared for her by giving her the mock funeral, and when she was part of making the party happen to raise the money to help Lucas and Joe - might be a turning point for Debra. When the party was over Debra would still have the problems that drove her to attempt suicide in the first place. (3) Debra is another candidate because one good night doesn’t resolve problems that took years to develop. On the other hand, a reasonable argument could be made that singing in front of the crowd would give Gina the confidence she needed to go change her life. Just because she was singing at the impromptu party to raise money to pay Lucas’ debt doesn’t mean that she could find a band to sing with or that she would even look hard. (2) Gina’s self-esteem issues were major and she didn’t have the self-assurance to try to do what she wanted to do. There is nothing to indicate that Corey recognizes the risk to her from the speed that she is taking. What was she going to do when she got into the hyper-competitive environment at Harvard when she had to compete with other smart students? She’d turn to speed again.
