She's Too Young

I am watching this movie right now, on the night that it premiered. I believe this movie deals with real issues that need to be handled. I am a Teen myself, and I know it all happens. While all of this happens, I am not so sure as to the extent that it happens. In the film, Hannah does things with an older guy, which results in her getting a sexually transmitted Disease. (STD) The entire community of Teens ends up with it because it's just some game to the males, and the females think they wont be able to get a date unless they do it. While I don't know why the 14 year old girls need to have dates, I do know they need a security, and obviously aren't getting it anywhere else. The nice guys in the film are called gay. This all seems unreal, as if it doesn't happen in real life, but it does, and I don't want to sound like a preacher, but I felt it might help to say what I think on the film, and I think it was a good, if not excellent way to try showing parents what goes on in most high schools, even though everything seems normal. At the end of the film, the main character, Hannah, comes on screen and says 1 in 5 girls have sex before they turn 15, and 35% of all females experience pregnancy before the tender age of 20. This is an excellent film if you want to be prepared to know what happens to your family members or friends that are in high school, and while it doesn't happen to everyone, it does happen, so being prepared for it can never hurt.
