She was sweet and likable in the Netflix show. The books made her look like a snooty cosmetics saleswoman who tried to force you to buy things way out of your price range. 😂 The TV show girl was a fresh faced kid.

I could see Laine turning out okay. I don't like her by any means, but she comes from a family with wealth so she's set up for life. She doesn't seem like the type to blow it all. Probably living in New York or maybe somewhere in Europe. She's a snob but also a thirteen year old girl that doesn't know better yet. Surprise, lots of kids from wealthy, set-for-life families do mess up their lives. Contrary to popular myth, money doesn't buy happiness or stability. Take a look at what happened to Michael Jackson...he came from a star-studded, wealthy Hollywood family that seemed to set him up for life, yet he ended up repeatedly in trouble with the law, hooked on alcohol and drugs, bankrupt and dead of an overdose by the age of fifty. All the millions in the world did not make Michael okay or set for life. On the flip side, you have many kids who come from the poorest, most dysfunctional families, have a terrible childhood, yet end up happy and hugely successful. Oprah Winfrey is a classic example...she grew up in the worst slum in Milwaukee with unstable family members, was often beaten as a child, people thought she would end up in jail or dead by thirty. But Oprah now is a happy, healthy, successful, sixty-seven-year-old self-made billionaire today. 😊😊😊 Back on the BSC and the characters...no, you cannot predict how successful a still-growing pre-teen or teenager will be in adulthood. Family wealth is a very poor predicter of future success in life. She was sweet and likable in the Netflix show. The books made her look like a snooty cosmetics saleswoman who tried to force you to buy things way out of your price range. 😂 The TV show girl was a fresh faced kid. That would be interesting to see. 😅😅😅

In the TV series she didn’t seem so bad. I wonder what she would be like without that camp environment though.
