I had seen this film a while ago, when a friend of my father's said it was excellent. It was, and since I have taped it and have seen it several times. If you have a chance to rent/tape/buy, do it! You will be very pleased!

I found this story to be heart breaking. I've seen that many people commented that Stacy was stupid for staying with Bobby, but most people who are in abusive relationships stay because the abuser usually psychologically abuses them, as well as physically. The thing is that some people don't know if someone is being abused unless they come out and tell someone. And it wasn't too uncommon for her not to tell her mother, because at that age teenage girls usually feel a distance from their mother or parents. This is a true story, based on actual events. It is important to remember that, but Sally Jessie as the judge was trying to convey a message, both to her friends and to the viewer, that if you know someone that is going through this, to speak up before it's too late.
