Yeah it was based on a true story, the first time I saw it they had a news special on right after... it happened in Arizona near where I live in the early 90's I believe.
shareYes it is a true story but your not even close to the state in which it happened. It happened in Beverly, MASSACHUSETTS. MA v. Fuller is the actual court case. 16 yo Jamie Fuller stabbed his 14 yo girlfriend Amy Carnevale to death in 1991.

Omg when I first saw this movie I never knew it was a true story and when I came on here I found out it was and IN MY STATE. I live RIGHT near BEVERLY!! Eeep....Last weekend I went by the body of water she was found.
shareHey I live in Arizona too. Do I get a cookie now?
My teacher showed us this movie when I was in high school. I like the movie so much because it teaches people especially young girls a lesson. I still don't get why someone would stay with someone who treats them that way. I cried at the end cause I felt so bad for her. She was so young and she loved this guy and look what happened to her because of it. How sad. What a way to go and at 14. This movie always gets me so sad and mad. When I watch it sometimes I would think to myself what her life would be like now if she was still alive. Anyways, R.I.P. Amy!
It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.-

I bet if she was still alive she would probably go to schools and talk about those types of relationships. I know I want to cause I am a survivor of an abusive relationship and I know someone who is in one right now and I really am trying to talk some sense into her. I even encourged her to watch this movie but she wouldnt.

Sometimes you don't have a choice. He didn't give her one, did he? share
My friend was just dating the brother of Amy. He said that alot of what happened in the movie was not true of course. He said that his family never gave them rights to do it, so thats why they had to change alot of things. Like the character having only the mother, and she was an only child, and of course changing the location and names. But yes it was suppose to be based on the Amy Carnevale and Jaime Fuller case.

Please read my answers and hopefully it will give you some reasons why some people stay even when they are being abused.

Domestic Violence is VERY complicated. It's a progressive situation. It doesn't become a nightmare over night. Most often it begins with what some consider "minor, isolated incidents" like jealousy which can be very subtle and sometimes the girl feels it's endearing. that it proves how much the abuser "loves" them. The abuser of course makes excuses for it all. Just as in the movie. bobby turns on the charm and tells stacy he couldn't help getting a little jealous because he was "in love" with her. He isolated her from friends because he "loved her and wanted him all to himself." again she fell for It.
Abusers are very charming and after they beat their girlfriends/wives they apologize with gifts and sob stories. They are manipulative and will do anything they can to portray themselves as the "victim" etc..Not every girl/woman turns a blind eye and stays out of weakness. Stalking also is part of domestic violence. Abusers find ways to keep tabs on their victims through friends, family etc..The MOST dangerous time for any victim of abuse is WHEN aTHEY LEAVE. share

Amy, like Stacy did leave but were lured to their death by their abusers. I knew girl who did leave her abuser but he broke into her house and killed her anyway. Please don't judge abuse victims share

There are many reasons why someone stays in abusive relationship. poor self esteem, hoping to change the abuser, guilt, blaming themselves for the abuse, shame, fearing that no one else would like them, etc.
shareIt happened in 1991 and it was Massachusetts, not Arizona
shareYes, it is. It's based on the 1991 murder of Amy Carnavale by her boyfriend Jamie Fuller.
