Oooh! This is a really fun idea! 
I don't know who I'd have play my parents.. because I don't watch a lot of movies with actors above the age 30. LOL
But, for me and my closest friend I have some ideas of people I'd want to play us. Nobody has probably heard of most of them, but it's ok! :)
I think for me I'd want Nikki Blonsky(Hairspray) to play me as a teen through now, and if there were flashbacks to childhood I would want Soleil Borda(from the sitcom Still Standing).
And for my best friend since 9th grade, I would want to get someone like Alexz Johnson or Mary-Kate Olsen--because my friend has always been quite thin, so those would do her justice. Otherwise, a blonde such as Katherine Heigl would be good too, although she would be a bit old for high school. LOL
I definitely think that me and my best friend's high school experience, in 9th grade alone would make for an interesting drama. LOL There were some comedic moments, but mostly drama-filled.
That's about all I can think of for now. LOL I mostly watch late teen dramas and comedies that are no longer on tv, so it's harder for me to use people who you might know.

LOL well, I don't know if I'd describe it like that, probably more like a lifetime movie of the week where the outcasts are tortured by the popular kids, and then deal with all kinds of personal issues, kinda after school special-ish. But then again, I didn't see High School Musical, so I'm not really sure if there was drama like mine in that. Some of the things me and my friend went through at that time would probably be a little too much for Disney. haha
LOL you see what happens when I start thinking? hmm.. maybe I should write a screenplay loosely based on that stuff. Me and my friend actually have talked about how it would make a good show/movie before. But I am so not focused enough to do it. I am a singer, but I can't even focus to write *good* songs, much less a script. haha

Well, I do know that my husband would be played by Larry the Cable Guy, and I would probably be played by Bea Arthur of the old Golden Girls show.. Hubby would want me to be played by Reba McIntyre, lol

Well, I did want to say Reba McIntyre for myself because hubby has loved her for many years but that would have made him way too happy so I just couldn't do it.. I guess my life would be a comedy of errors, lol..

Well if I am to beleive my friends it would be Katie Holmes. All my friends say I look like her anyways so I guess it would be a good choice. Or mabey Mena Suvari I tend to get that one alot also. As for my husband I dont know whod play him thats a hard one. Hed be played by some unknown new actor as he resembles no one.

Who would want to play me is a better question. My life has been a gripping drama filled with love, lost, pain, gain and disppointment. I would be physically and emotionally draining to play and I am not sure just any actors could bear the tortureous roller coaster ride. The story would difinitely be a gripping blockbuster. Maybe I should write down my life story and pitch it to Hollywood.
