She's Too Young

This movie has a good plot. But I'll have to say, the acting isn't good, the dialogue isn't that good either, some things that happen are unrealistic, and at times, this movie is just way too slow. I think this movie is good in the sense of showing the dangers of sex, especially at a young age, how people can switch up on you really fast, how others can change you, etc. But I feel like it could've done a way better job at showing this. I definitely saw potential in this movie, it's not like I want them to just throw it away, I just think if they changed a few things, it could've been a lot better.

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.

It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but I disagree with a previous user who dismissed it all as totally unrealistic. A lot of sheltered students in some high schools may view it as totally ridiculous, but this kind of thing is in fact happening. The movie managed to take every bad situation and cram it into a two hour span, which makes it seem absurd, but it's not completely out of the realm of truth. Take the documentary "The Lost Children of Rockdale County" which is possibly an inspiration behind this movie. The teens interviewed in that were as jaded and nonchalant about their actions as many characters in "She's too Young." Worse, even. It's not like every high school in the country has students like this, but it's going on, and there's no denying it. "Young" merely tells a single story of one set of teens' fictional experiences. I agree however that the way the school handled it was unrealistic. I think that a school probably would mail home those syphilis notification letters, not pass them out to embarrassed, angry students. The long line of students waiting to be tested in clear view of the whole school seemed unnecessarily humiliating and wrong. I get the feeling it's not really like that. I sure HOPE not. Anyway, just my five cents.

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.

its soo weird to see miriam mcdonald in this type of a role. she plays a 14 year old girl who gets an std and has slept w/ 15-20 guys. its far from her degrassi role but so far she has played it wonderfully. one of my problems w/ this movie is that they had a 26 year old playing a 16year old boy and it was obvious that the kid was not 16. the whole movie is about making the choice to have sex or not and the emotional and physical consequences of sexual actions. its a very important topic and if you ask me this is would probably be a good movie to show to sex education classes. even though it is set in a highschool enviroment, it doesnt just apply to those who are in highschool. this is a really good movie. i recommend it to everyone especially those who have daughters or people who are or thinking about having sex. this movie has a good message and should be shared w/ everyone. it shows that no sex is the way to stay safe but it also lets you know that if you choose to have sex make sure that your safe and know who your with.
