She's Too Young

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.

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 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.

This film is perhaps one of the most viewer friendly accurate description of teen life. There were strong performances all the way around. Alexis Dziena shines bright as the lead character in this film. This film takes an unparalleled view of teen sex but it also takes a view at teen curiosity in general. This is a very important film for not just all parents to watch but teens also, since it is about them. It is important for teens to know what is going on inside and outside of their high school. At the same time it is alarming to see how many sexually active teens there are presently today. Even though I've been out of high school for only 3 years, I know it has changed significantly since I've attended. Another good reason to view this film is for individuals to see that high school isn't as sugar-coated and "G" rated as "Saved by the Bell" and many of the teen shows from the 90's make it out to be. Teens becoming sexually active with more than one individual is real. It's time for us to start watching more movies and shows like this that alarms us of this matter.
