It's interesting you gave credit to Lisa in the movie. I've noticed people in a few situations in comments disliking her character, when I felt that her awkward behaviour was part of what made her character as prominent as it was. Often people have said negative things about the acting, when in reality, it was maybe just too real for them.
While I'm approximately a decade younger than the real people from this story, I can relate to some of this. Me and my best friends were similar to them when we were their ages, just not AS bad or unaccountable. I was 19 when this movie came out and felt like I saw pieces of myself and my friends in these people. At the time I didn't know it was based off of a true story. But me and my friends all made it out unscathed and we're all doing well now in our very early 40s. But we had no guidance from our parents either. This was pre cell phone days and there would literally be entire weekends or weeks in the summer where I would be gone with friends and my parents had NO IDEA where I was, and neither did theirs. Looking back, and now being a mom myself, I could never do that to my kids. My kids dad had a very similar upbringing and is the same age, and he did get arrested and go to jail in his teens (not for murder). So the way these kids were in the film is not far off from the reality people of my generation and older generations grew up and spent our youths. Some made it out, some didn't.
