I teach middle school (and high school) and young teens smoke pot, cut, have intercourse, and other "sex." Unfortunately it's not uncommon.

Holy moly!! I don't remember things like that happening at all... That's so sad I'm watching this movie, and I can't believe what I am seeing. Maybe I lived a sheltered life as a kid, but geez...I just can't believe this.

That's what I said when I saw her!

I knew then I had to see it. I even went to a town I NEVER would have went to, just to see it. (they didn't show it that long here, but they should have)

It's a film I think all parents/ family members/teachers should see. But I also feel it's a film teens should see with their parents, so they can have a chance to talk about it after they see it.

I'm lucky because with our children we have an open door to talk about anything, day or night, they know we are here. I have learned some kids aren't lucky, but I wish they all were.

Funny you should say that! I was a VERY sheltered child. Both my parents were Police Officer's. I was kept away from everything, but their are many kids who aren't. Sad, but true, and being written by a teen, says a lot these days.

Wow...So, this is common?? I'm scared to have kids!! LOL
I didn't realize this was written by a teen. I've heard of this movie, but never really looked into it or watched it, but I'm watching it now.

Believe it or not, it's probably more common in the areas where you'd least expect it.

I started watching it, but I fell asleep.

I Tivo'd and just watched this last week. It's still on my mind! I have 13 and 11 year old girls and the stuff that they showed going on with all of those kids just really doesn't go on in our small town. Oh, I'm sure there ARE a few like that around here but I think my daughters would be appalled to see this. I plan on letting them see it too..... I just wanted to watch it by myself first. I didn't know about the teen that wrote it and that she was on Oprah.

i saw it.... that mom should have did some sort of discipline for her daughter...
