have any of you seen this movie? basically, it's about good girl meets bad girl good turn into sex-crazed whore who does drugs (can't forget the eating disorder thrown in there too), at the age of *GASP* thirteen.

i have not seen it, and after reading the reveiws, quotes, and other peoples reactions. it is not something i want to see.

do we need to have another movie streotyping todays youth? we don't.

so, did anyone here seen/heard of the movie, if so what did you think about it?

edit// sorry, wrong fourm

Heh, moved to Entertainment.

TRAILER TIME!

--

wow and I'm thirteen. Wow.

[eboarder2020]

I thought it was a pretty good movie... It hits on alot of sensitive subjects that alot of thirteen year olds go through. Stuff like peer pressure, fitting in, depression, experimentation, drugs, sex, and all the other good stuff. The acting in the movie was great, and the ending made me smile. If you went through some bad stuff in life, then you can relate more to this movie then a person who hadnt gone through the hard stuff. The movie isnt one of those "family" movies, but its made for the older teen audience and maybe some parents as well. Hope this helps you out, and i do recomend you see it.

[ghjgfkgfk]

wow and I'm thirteen. Wow. 

is it really surprise?

i don't want to see it, i'm not in the mood to met two little whores.

[inlonelinessidie]

It was powerful and a conversation starter which makes a good movie. Now as for the fact that it might seem a little chliche', what can you honestly expect? It was written by a thirteen year old so I don't think it can be stereotypical because she wrote it about her experiences. But overall it was a nice film.

[yeseulx3]

it was a good movie, just not my type...

i never ever wanna see another 13 year old slut that curses at her mother, screws a guy, kisses her friend, steals, does drugs, cuts herself...

after the movie was over, i was ...

twitching.

[JuzPlainStrange]

Crazy movie. I didn't expect the things that I was gonna see. I mean... When I was at the age of 13, I didn't act like them. I guess it's caused by the media and the change of the world that's going SO WAY FAST! Crazy shitzsu...

i still think it was a bit stereotypical because wehn i read other peoples reactions on another forum, they made it look like everyone is like that. so people suggest to watch it with your parents, but really? that would scare the **** out of my parents.

it's no surprise that people do that.

edit// did this movie ever coem out in theatres? i dont remember

Don't watch it with your parents . . . Holly Hunter is nude in it, and too much sex. LOL you'll be like , while your parents are like .

Yeah it was in theatres.

[ghjgfkgfk]

Yeah it was in theatres.

erm yeah. my parents might be thnking that i'm like that or something.

oops, i posted the wrong link to teh trailer.

[Froshy]

After watchin the movie I was in complete awe. It's very intense and consists of things people don't usually talk about. Sure not every 13 yr old girl is like the girls in the movie but there are some out there that are like Evie and (Insert Name of Blonde Chick Here). Not really my type of movie but it's definately worth seeing.



oh and I definately agree with what eboarder2020 said.

[*FreeStickers*]

I didn't see it, but my boyfriend told me about it. I want to see it.

[sugarcultluver]

i saw some parts of it when my parents were watching it idk if i want to see it tho

[highly_evolved]

yea i saw it. i thought it was a really good potrayal of wat peer presure can do to you. of course as people have already said not every 13 year old goes through something like that. but it does happen. i did not think it was stereotypical. i thought the acting was amazing and the story was well put. this movie is one in paticular shows wat can happen when you do drugs, steal, lie. and it also shows the importance of having a godd stable family. i liked it. and would watch it again.

[aZn_hApPy05]

i thought it was a good movie. it was very hardcore powerful? it was interesting and dere were some parts of the movie were it was soooo dramatic. some parts were dark funny but overall i thought it was a good movie.

not something for the younger viewers.

[JlIaTMK]

yeah.... that movie kinda scares me actually.... they're like sluts and stuff that r 13.... lol.... i duno.... its just wierd

[phatty]

yahh i saw this movie. it was alrighty. nikki reed is so pretty hahah yano that it was about her life when she was 13. curazzzyyyy

it's not a surprise. it only is one if someone has not known a teen or been one. there doesnt have to be a movie reinforcing it

[mizz_mithy]

i saw it and i thought it was really good. i saw it with my mom and she did to show me what would happen if i went down that road.

took the owrds right out of my mouth.

[tootsie_kiddo]

i want to c it!!!!

[elmogurly]

i never saw it. i'm not sure i heard of it. hehe

[miszkristinexox]

i wanna see it, but like i saw the dvd case and i was like eh. and plus my parents watch all the movies we rent so their gonna be like wth is this? lol.

[inthemudhole]

Ooh.
Sounds interesting.
Haven't heard of it til now, however.

[NiKECHiQ]

that movie really show how liberated some kids these days ... i have to say i liked that movie because i could relate to it because im thirteen ... im not sayin that i do that kinna stuff... well sorta .... but shows that kids these days shud act like their age

[divinity_star]

I read about the movie online on imdb.com and wow I can't believe some kids are actually like that (since the one girl co-wrote the script basing it on herself) like that. She does drugs, and sex (they cut out a love scene between the 2 girls) and changes herself just to look cool in middle school. This movie would be more believable if she was in High School.

[sporadic]

Wow, this movie was just on. Scared me. @.@ I didn't get to watch the whole thing, though. (It's not the best movie to watch with your brother?) So I have to wait until Sunday to see the whole thing.

/edit (after reading all the posts, heh.) I think the point isn't to stereotype thirteen year old girls (who thinks of a thirteen year old girl and then has the image of a drug/sex addict appear in their mind...?) but to show what can happen to basically good people when they fall in the wrong crowd of people.

//(watched trailor) that girl will have sex with anything that has a penis. (THE MOM'S BOYFRIEND!?)

[angel-roh]

i saw the movie aiight...heh i would say it was a good movie even tho there was too much drugy in that movie... but i hope those teenagers who are like in their life saw this and learned the bad things of wat they did... i saw it in dvd with my sister and her friends... the story was like this girl who is thirteen became popular... i think she was hanging out with this punk rock group... but in the ending was kinda dope.... it was a reallie dope ending ever.... but still a good story

[LiNHy POO]

i thought it was a good movie... i thought it was gonna more of a comendy then a drama... but yehh i could relate to some of the things.

[captivatedheart]

i saw the movie and i have to say, it's very dramatic. i dont think it's stereotyping teenage girls, but more showing the public what some teen girls are going through (popularity, drugs, sex, self-mutilation, depression, backstabbing). the ending was weird, and i still dont get it.. but yeah, great movie. you should see it.

[enticing.]

that movie freaked me out. those things never happened to me when i was thirteen.

[sporadic]

i thought it was a good movie... i thought it was gonna more of a comendy then a drama... but yehh i could relate to some of the things.

That movie was all drama...

[punker616]

I thought this movie was actually really well done. Evan Rachel Wood did such an amazing job with her character it blew me away. I actually bought the movie because I liked it so much, but it does leave you feeling a little depressed after watching it. But I really liked it.

~*Crystal*~

[JoelyMoleyLoVeR]

I saw it and thought the movie was pretty cool it reminded me of my sister my sister was always the good one but then all of a sudden i dunno what happened of course when she turned "bad" she wasnt thirteen i think it was pretty stupid that the girl was thirteen my brother was watching it with me and nearly choked when they said summin about the girl being 13 i think he was just hoping that she was closer to his age i know he liked that girl on girl make out scene because when it was over he left the room for like 10 mintues

[DarkCrescentMoon]

jeebus...that girl must have had some very bad times when she was 13.

i'm 13, and i'm sure not going to be doing all that stuff...
meh, i wanted to see this movie, but, my mum wont let me...it has SEX in it,,thats why...

[sporadic]

No way. I don't believe you.

[jr0h]

in my opinion. its a really good movie. it shows thirteen year olds or other young youth teens what they should lead their life in. otherwise i enjoyed it. evan rachel good is a good actress! there are some nasty scenes in there but i think you should watch it. u mite regret it.

[vivieeeen]

I finished the trailer and my first response was: "...Whao. I guess 13 is a Big Thing after all"

there are some nasty scenes in there but i think you should watch it

[mouse_3k]

i aw this movie. it was great, i mean it was really a good movie but said...the end was so effecting...

[Caitlin]

wow i loved that movie. i am 12 and nobody I know is into stuff like that so it is just really shocking. alot of sensitive subjects were talked about but it was still just unbelieveable. blah i feel like a dork i cried at the end. still a great movie

[rx_azngirl]

haven't seen this movie yet, but i think it's slutty. not sure if it's worth the money. i don't wanna see it at all!

[imafreakinazn]

hmmm....it sounds like something you'd rent, and not see in the theatres.

hey jen!!!! ::looks up and waves::

[Counting]

after the movie was over, i was ...

twitching.

Same here, the movie was a tad too deep for me, but it was really...erm...powerful xD

[s0pnayish]

this movie is a really good movie, and after watching it, it does somehow leave you in awe.

[roxybabe]

very powerful message in that movie..i personally liked it.. it has alt of real stuff in it like the gurl being a cutter and them doing drugs and stuff..i didnt realli get the ending tho

[ciara nicole]

i liked it alot! i'm into... i donno but i liked it. 3 thumbs up! i dont have 3 thumbs btw..

[misoshiru]

i watched that movie, and i thought it was amazing. some parts of it were really shocking, but overall, it was portrayed really well. and this is a true story too. the girl who was the "bad girl" in real life played the "good girl" who gave in to peer pressure.

[Eternally_Yours]

i actually have the movie and was pretty shocked to see some of the things they did. i was like woah... this is way over the top. but then again, look at society these days. but i have to say that it was a pretty good movie.

[Heathasm]

i just watched the movie

you have to be one effed up kid to suck some guys d**k ~_~ i know i was never on the verge of doing that, i remember hating my mother the drugs the stupid popular girls all like that gettind ditched by friends and ratted on -_-
the movie was more like worse case scenerio, except no one died.

[vickiwang123]

Well, I saw the movie twice. It was ok, but disturbing and shows how a teenage life can be from going good to bad just because of keeping your reputation up. The beggining and ending was messed up...although they only wrote the script in 6 days. The movie made me wanna but it also made me feel

[smilePiNAYstyle]

i have the movie HAHA it`s alright. it touched on a lot of problems that kids could go through. it was sad but scary knowing that some kids actually do that stuff.

[ghjgfkgfk]

woah. flashback.

[william]

i saw that movie about a year ago then watched it again a few months ago. i thought it was kinda scary, freaking 7th graders doing crack and having sex and such, and the cutting parts were kind of disgusting. i thought it was still a good movie though.

[miss barnes]

i dont think it stereotypes 13 year olds because its a true story. i read about the movie somewhere and one of the girls in the movie (she's on the cover of the movie..not the main girl) wrote this and its about her

[D1SMANTLED]

yeah, the girl who plays the bad girl. she wrote the story about her own life.

i forgot her name in the movie, but i know her real name is nikki reed. I think shes pretty.

[shortiiex]

i saw that movie it was good

[sm0kinm0nky]

reminds me of go ask alice

[DanielleMaria05]

I want to see it. I don't know why, but I think it looks interesting. I wasn't like that when i was 13, and I know its sterotyping, but I wanna see it.

[tooeffingcrazy]

That movie was pretty good. It is overrated though. o.O

[D1SMANTLED]

the movie is amazing.
the acting is amazing too! HUGE props to evan rachel wood (tracy)
what do you mean overrated!

[nevernothere]

It's a pretty good movie.. and she's way too hot for 13.

[flyonthewall4590]

i love thirteen...its a really good movie! i'm just glad i watched it with a friend and not my mom cause i was like omg...there is a lot of bad stuff in here...but the acting is phenomenal...

[Joanne]

i loved that movie. everything about it was good.
but i think it kinda freaked out my parents when i watched it with them cuz i was 13 at the time. XD

[ItzOnlySydney]

yep i've seen it thatz what started my addicted with cutting.

[WhiteLadyOfRohan]

Jesus I watched that movie about a year or so ago. Its pretty good. Creepy in the sense that they are 13 and well all the shit they get into. Yeah if you like ver the top drama its good

[Chii]

oh my goodness people, this isn't a true story, it's based on a true story so most of it is probably made up, and it was co-written by the 13 year old...she didn't write the whole thing

[Teesa]

Arrrrhjj I haven't seen it yet! but everyone says it's really good.

[*instantmusic*]

that movie was over board. stuff like that doesnt happen that fast. let me catch my sister turning a life like that. oh its on like donkey kong. bats, shovels, guns, knifes, cats, dogs, ducks, chickens.

[inthemudhole]

Sorry for bringing up an old topic, but I'm watching it right now. So far so good. My parents wouldn't let me rent it, so I just snuck it in the pile of movies I already had selected.

[becomingAWARE]

my friend is obsessed :]
go see it. the girl who plays evie wrote it and it was based on her life.

[Im So Vain]

THAT IS MY NEW FAVORITE MOVIE. IM GLAD SOMEONE POSTED ABOUT IT BECUZ I LOVED IT. I MEAN IT IS SO REAL. EVEN THO NOT ALL TEENS ARE LIKE THAT BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT IS.

[freeflow]

yeup its a good movie .. i havent seen it in a while though and i never saw the begining .. everytime i watch it on cable i always miss the begining ..

[sharerol]

Wow, I really want to see that movie, but my parents think it's too violent for me...

[sammi rules you]

i love that movie. it's one of my favorites. i can relate..ish. to a certain extent.

[RandomHero]

I saw it last night on tv. I'm glad I wasn't like that when I was 13.
All in all it was a pretty good movie.

[aznxdreamer]

i wanna see it. it seems like reality to the maximum.

[aznxdreamer]

i wanna see it. it seems like reality to the maximum. that stuff happens too much. theres little 11 year old girls walking around in mini skrits and acting like hos. society today..

[Levy2k6]

i never heard of that movie.. ima ask my friends if they know it.. i seen thirteen ghosts tho.. that was pretty pimp house in that movie.. lol.

[*lolita kitty*]

yah i saw the movie
its pretty good, but very dramatic. teaches you how life goes when you turn to the wrong side. but i honestly liked it.

[xXirockhardXx]

Its an ok movie, very interesting. It was prety weird how at the end she was blamed for mostly everything. Or am i typing out of my butt? Im not sure if im right because its been a while since ive watched it.

[Rachel]

i finalllllly got around to watching this movie...i think it was a tad overrated....idk...just something about it i didn't like

[[Mediocre]Artist]

I'm really frustrated that I haven't been able to see it yet! My mom and my sister saw it and my sister than into my room and started checking my wrists. Shoulda looked on the legs and shoulder. Since then I've straightened up. No sense in hurting myself when so many people can do it for me.

[Chii]

i finalllllly got around to watching this movie...i think it was a tad overrated....idk...just something about it i didn't like

yeah i watched it a few weeks ago...i made my boyfriend download it because of all the hype from there people...

it was overrated, evan rachel wood "too hot for a 13 yeard old" and "amazing actress" yeah okay she's not that pretty, she was 15 when it was shot, and she wasn't amazing, she was just good

[inthemudhole]

So I finished it a few hours ago.
It was very good, I must say.
I can relate to it.
Well, minus the drugs and sex, anyway. :P

[May]

I don't think this is a movie for a 13 year old to watch.

It films a life of a 13 year old from the worst case scenario. This isn't a good thing for 13 year olds to see. At that age you're growing and being influence easily. This movie opens up a lot of issue I wouldn't want my 13 year old to think about.

Sex at 13? That's wrong no matter how you put it.

I did think the actors and actresses were quite good though. =)

[jelloness]

this is actually my favorite movie, i can relate to a lot of it

[tinababy143]

alright so..im gonna bring this topic back real quick..well..i bought it like...i dont even know how long ago because everyone was talking about it saying how it was 'such a great movie' and their 'new favorite movie' and whatever..and i admit..i like it..i can relate to a lot of stuff in it..but the first time i saw it i was like 'uhhhh..that was dumb' but there was something about it that made me want to keep watching it over and over..so yeah..i liked it..but question...

maybe im just dumb..but i dont get the ending..i mean..i know evie set tracy up and all that..but then whats with the whole thing on the merry go round screaming or whatever?? i dunno..i could be wrong..cos its been about a month or so since i seen it and i dont feel like watching it right now..but it just popped up and i thought "hmm..createblog..they'll know" haha..soooo yeah..sorry if this was confusing..buuut..i was just curious..?!

[toodlepops.]

I've not seen it but my friend said it was really depressing.

[starlette]

Actually I saw thirteen. its an incredibly good movie. It was a whirlwind, but at the same time, I know lots of girls who were going thru things like that. It really gives a lot of insight into what some people are going thru. Its something I think all teenage girls should watch. It makes quite an impact.

Oh and about teh merry go round? She had done all of these crazy adult thing. She basically went frmo a normal innocent girl to a very naughty one. She tried to grow up too quick. So that was kinda likea freedom. Like going back and becoming a child again. I love that movie.

[*mzkandi*]

I saw the movie. It was pretty good, its wasnt the big great movie people were making it out to be but it was well worth the rent.

[lilliannnn]

3 words - i love it
it's a great movie, it's sad, but it's funnt, too.
ahh, i wanna see it now.

[xMayleex]

I have heard of it i know my brother has seen it, it was on sky/cable once but i didnt watch it, it looks okay though.

[zbrittanyz]

It was good, but pretty sick. When they were punching each other in the beginning, I knew this was a seriously disturbed movie. But still good.

[PinkTrash]

i really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really WANT TO RENT IT AND SEE IT >;[

[tinababy143]

[*My Cinderella.*]

I just finished watching it. It's a great movie and it definately made me think.
