The opening scene of this influential movie takes place in the girls’ locker room as the high schoolers are changing after gym. Carrie, a social outcast due to her strict religious upbringing, has her first period and clearly does not understand what is happening to her body. She screams and begs her peers to help her; instead, they are amused by her ignorance and demand that she “plug it up” while throwing tampons and pads at the naïve girl.
