Thirteen

             The movie that I decided to watch is Thirteen. The main characters in the movie are: Holly Hunter (a mom named Mel), Evan Rachel Wood (a teen named Tracy, daughter of Mel), and Nikki Reed (a popular bad teenage girl named Evie Zamora). Tracy is a smart, shy student who gets A's and is at the edge of adolescence. When she becomes friends with Evie, Evie leads her to drugs, sex, and misery. Tracy becomes a replica of Evie which leads her to many problems dealing with school, teachers, family, sex, and drugs. At the beginning the movie it is very confusing. However, I had seen the movie a while back and remembered it portraying young teenagers and their sexual experiences. I knew the movie a little from the first time I saw it and figured it would be alright for this project.
             Tracy, the good straight A student, approaches Evie, the popular bad girl, at a part early in the movie and they start talking about their clothes and jewelry and decide to go shopping. From that point on Tracy goes and copies whatever Evie does and begins to steal, get piercings, drink and do drugs, and begins to get into sexual situations and such. After their shopping or pretty much just stealing, they become friends. Tracy then brings Evie to her house for the first time. Evie eventually begins to spend weeks at a time at Tracy's house. During this, Tracy's mom who is an ex-alcoholic is trying to be open minded about her daughter's rebellious changes and soon cant deal with it anymore and gives up on the teen. The sex appeal of these girls gives away their beauty. They are covering themselves in make up, piercings, not very much clothing, and also doing drugs. This makes you realize how sex appeal can make people these days ruin their bodies as well as their appearance. Girls these days are more into their looks and don't realize what kind of morals they have or how bad they are actually make themselves look.
