This film was described as the "cruel reality of abandoned teenagers that nobody wants to believe" by E. Patrick. in an article on the San Diego Union Tribune. Although, some of you may feel the film was inappropriate displaying too much nudity and bad language between the teens, I would like us to talk about the message that not many people want to talk about. Teenagers have to face drugs, sex and other social issues in today's society. What is being done to help and support them? Where are the parents?
Coming from a very traditional family with strong Christian values, when I saw this film for the first time in my literature class many years ago I could not believe this could be real in our society.
The film does have a sad ending.
Hopefully, this will motivate us to be better examples for the young generation. They really need us!

I only posted on my blog that the film depicts the way our young adults are here in the US. It is true that supervision is the key to keeping youth in line. However, the less supervision and love they recieve, the more they are to find it else where like in sex and drugs. Believe me, i have been through this once (with my step-daughter) and I have 3 teenagers to go. Although my children have learned not to do some of the things that my step-daughter did, I still worry. But sometimes, even with supervision and love, we can't keep our youth from being so promiscuous. There are so many things in this world that attract our youth to the bad things, like drugs, multiple sex partners it is hard to turn them away from those things.
I am sure that you do not have teenage children because of your youth, Sr. Anorga. When you do, you will find out that even with all of the love, supervision and support, that they are teenagers with raging hormones and curiosity.
I thought this movie was wonderful and it should be kept in the curriculum. If anything, it showed that the cultural diversity is very much not as diverse for many groups such as the adolescent.
Thank you for a great quarter.
Professor I know I had alot of comments about this movie but I feel in the long run maybe it should be kept in curriculum, someone responded to me that they were surprised i didn't mention my comments in my blog but I felt that may of not been the right place. I really enjoyed this class and the blogging. So keep this in the curriculum because it does depicit the way teenager act throughout the world. Again thanks for a great quarter and hope to run into you again.
