Adolescentes

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
