PROJECT 1: Thirteen, the movie. (part 1)

THIRTEEN vs Adrian Mole:

1.Topics: DRUGS






So, I think that the most important topic on the movie is DRUGS:
The way to hide problems and be happy (for a few hours).
Represents that teenagers are on time of rebellion that makes them want to seek independence and the approval of the world.

And If you're in a world full of people who consume, what will you do to feel accepted? taking drugs.

This is the problem of Tracy.
Surely, if she had told Evie that she didn't want to try marijuana or pot, Evie had left Tracy because was a “no-cool girl” and Tracy would return to his little-cool life .... Or simply have consumed
Tracy decided to consume and be a popular girl.
This is going to make you freak...

I think Thirteen explains well the drug issue.
Though, what I find most unreal is the fact that the two families of Tracy and Evie are poor and she can buy  marijuana, pot and cocaine! (I consider that's one of the more expensive drug ever!)
But apart from that, everything else is acceptable on the movie, I think...


PD:
I don't think that in the movie is well explained the concept of eating disorders.
Tracy says she's on a diet, that doesn't mean she has an eating disorders.
I know many people who are on a diet, and they don't have a problem with food.
In our times, people think that boys or girls who say "I do not want to eat more" and make a low calorie diet have got eating disorders ... and that's not true at all. (They are the same people who say that people with eating disorders must to be
very skinny or must to be a teenager girl. That's not true at all.)
Eating disorders is more than this. Eating disorders seems to be very popular in our society, and they don't know that they have an incorrect concept of this topic....
so ridiculous, I think.
