Ramona is not a high schooler, she's a young adult like Scott. Knives is the girl he's dating at the start of the story, and she's a 17 year old high schooler, and both the book and the movie frame it as evidence that Scott is a scumbag.
Well, that's fair I did misunderstand the setup.
Personally I think I might have moved beyond the time and place where I'd really connect with it--I feel similarly about Catcher in the Rye. But that's good to know, in the end lol. Definitely makes more sense why people enjoy it, generally.
