American girls must be really stupid if they base their behaviour on movies. Did the success of The Graduate start a generation of young men/older women sexual relationships? LOL!Quote:

It has nothing to do with the system but more to do with sh*tty, neglectful parenting. Parents too busy chasing the almighty dollar usually.
In the movie 'Juno' pregnancy is portrayed as something that could be shrugged off. A no-big-deal. Let's have un-protected sex and if I get pregnant, it's okay, some loveing couple will want to adopt my baby...Quote:

Unlike them, 'lower-class' citizens don't have the dough to invest 1 million dollars into a nursery. Golly, if I had a million dollars... the possibilities.
Does hollywood think that teenage pregnancies are that easy?
Lets make a movie about middle to lower class teenage girls getting pregnant and trying to survive. That's real life.
I loved that movie!Quote:

Movies don't influence people as much as you think they do. Did Trainspotting reduce the number of heroin users? I don't think it did.
Also liked that movie as well...Quote:

There is a fine line between hollywood and reality.
Because their parents don't hold them to any sense of personal responsibility--and part of THAT is because society (and even the kids themselves!) will call CPS if a parent tries to discipline a child.Quote:
