Red de contagio

Now I know most people will come on here and talk smack about this movie but i personally loved it. I, being a teenager, did identify everything they were saying. and it's true in my school. I felt like Hannah..because I am pretty much a good girl like her, and I feel I am pressured or guys give me guilt into doing those kind of things. but yeah..i can never write long comments so this is all I have to say..i suggest you watch 'Shes Too Young' I was impressed.

I have a soft spot for crappy Lifetime movies so I saw the commercial for this and decided to watch it. Plus, it had Emma from Degrassi so I thought, man, how bad could it be? Little did I know it would be AWFUL.

As an 18 year old female who is just about to finish highschool and go off to college, I feel that I do have enough backround to critique this. It was completely unrealistic. Yea, highschool kids are having sex and being INCREDIBLY unsafe about it, which is incredibly alarming and disturbing. Kids are contracting STDs and HIV like colds now adays. Older guys are sleeping with freshman and spreading diseases.There is definatly pressure to have sex. BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THIS. There are no sex parties. Teenagers aren't stealing porn from video stores like they show in the movie, then taking them home and having orgies with there freinds while watching it! Sex is definatly happening at parties, but it's not like this AT ALL.

This movie dramatisized the issue of teen sex like nothing I have ever seen before. Of course there are outbreaks of STDs in highschools, but they are not handled like this. And in all honesty, it is very rare that you find a nerdy band girl whose friends with the school sluts in actual highschool settings. Its sad, but totally true. Marcia Gay Harden was the only good actress in this entire film. The woman who portrayed the aid from Health Services was awful. The two permiscuous girls were terrible. And the actor who played Nick was AWFUL! Plus, he wasn't even that good looking. BAD BAD CASTING. Yea, this is a serious issue, but this was soooooooooooo overly dramatisized that it's almost funny.

Wow, I remember highschool as an extremely dumb time in everyone's life. This movie cemented that for me. I've been removed form that particular atmosphere for about 2 years now and I already feel like I was never there. The behavior of these kids are ridiculous and you just wanna slap them. "You have to sleep with Tommy to be popular mom! Like, duh!" It's such a middle class movie, it makes me wanna puke. I'm middle class myself, but nothing bothers them til inner city problems affect them. What about inner city kids who face this problem all the time? "Oh, they're just like that. Not my Jane. She's a good kid". Yea? Janey's got syphillis. She's a GREAT kid. The premise is that a young girl is sucked into doing sexual things to gain popularity because that's the way of her school. You forget that you used to think that way in highschool. Anyway, she gets syphillis and returns to normal after her mother decided she's gonna handle things. She's learned from her mistake apparently. And of course, the sex rings at parties continues. Just makes you wanna slap kids and tell them to grow up, but you know it's the way our society has raised them. We tell them to be older by studying for SATs in 5th grade and they'll be older in other things too. I liked how they showed the little sister following the same cycle. But the issue should include everybody. Not when a middle-class mom gets p*s*e*. Still, a good movie to show the consequences of being popular.

ehhh i dunno i saw the movie a few times actually and every time i see It i just don't understand it. I mean i understand what its trying to do but i don't understand how everyone is always having so much sex. I graduated high school in 2002 and went to so many parties in high school and in college and i have never seen a party or a girl or guy have so much sex in such a little amount of time all the time. In this movie every party was a sex party you had girls and guys having sex and people even watching this. hahaha i just cant get over the person who would even write this. I personally like this type of movie but this is just so un realistic and it seemed like the entire school ended up with syphilis. give me a break.. So everyone in the school was sleeping with each other?. wow it still has me baffled.....

I'm watching this right now, and it's a laugh a minute!
