Wonderful portrayal of teenage life


Certainly not everyone had Stephanie's teenage experience, before or after pregnancy. But this movie did a wonderful job of portraying the confusion of teenage years and the isolation that teenagers can feel, especially when going through rough circumstances. Stephanie is very believable as a teenager.

One of the scariest things about this movie is the fact that almost any teenager might, under the right circumstances, act as Stephanie did. The fact that I (or perhaps you?) did not make the choices that Stephanie did is due largely, or perhaps entirely to luck--luck that a teenage pregnancy did not occur, luck that some teenagers' parents would notice and intervene in a daughter's pregancy--but just luck.
