Thirteen

There is this movie called "Thirteen". I'm sure most of you have heard of it. If you haven't, it's a story of this girl (Tracy), who is thirteen, and befriends the popular girl in school (Evey). How does she befriend her? She has to prove herself by stealing, lying, and ditching her other friends. Evey basically lives with her after that. They snort perscription medication, they drink, they smoke, they cheat, they have sex...all when they are thirteen. This movie is one of my favorites, not because it's dark and excellently filmed, but because it brings me back to reality. There are thirteen year olds out there that do this. Me at thirteen? I was too busy being awkward and dreaming of holding a boy's hand. Hugging? Yeah, that was a big deal to me.

Just thought I would share.
