Most people on these board either are teenagers or have been teenagers.
Most teenagers are not like the ones in "Thirteen."

Either way it's not a very good show.

Jason unless you are too stupid to have already known my age since it is freely used whenever well that's your problem, open your eyes and read the title of this thread. I'm sorry, it does not say Thirteen, it says Mean Girls

What do you know about being a teen? The place where you live is not the same as another place so you know what you know and others know what they know. Everyone is right on this fact, just some are too stupid too see that.

If as a teen you want to be a hooker, so be it. If as a teen you want to be a cliche, than so be it. If as a teen you want to be high and drunk, than so be it. If as a teen you want to commit murder, than so be it. And so on and so...

I don't see why it matters...but I'm 18 years old. As it says on my profile.

Well I haven't looked at anyone's profile herre, so I wudn't know. And it matters cuz you're not gonna really know about teen life unless you are one. It doesn't matter if you know someone who is a counsellor, or you are a counsellor or you're a parent to a teen, you can't know and unless you are one I think you shouldn't judge the topic and whats believable and whats not believable in a movie about teens.

Jason,
That post is pure ignorance.
You'd be surprised at how little changes from the time your parents were teens to now.
Wes and Ian were teenagers so they know how it is.
I'm 16 so I can say how it is to be a teenager - and honestly it's not as bad as they make it out to be in "Thirteen" or as bad as you make it to be in your:
"This is your life."

Its not as bad as that to everyone, in some cases its worse. Just cuz where u live is quieter than that doesn't mean that where somebody lives that its the same. Just like where I live isn't the same as where you live.

And ALOT has changed from the time my parents were teens, DRUGS is waaaaaaaay more available to ANYONE than it was 20 years ago.

You live in Ireland, right?
Since I live in America I can't say how it was or is in Ireland.
Twenty years ago drugs were just as availible then as they were now where I live.

How do u know where I live?

I checked your profile.
I read "This is your Life" and was curious to know where you are from.

I was just a teen a few short months ago, unless you have some disability or are in a car accident you will never forget how it is to be a teen. It's hard but only the weak are taken down dark roads, the murders in my town have picked up since I graduated high school.

It's not my fault I grew up and stopped living in the past through screenplays or self pity

I mean maybe it's just me

What are you two talking about...?

The reason I like Thirteen is because I found to be very real and less corny than most American Movies.

And what are you on about Wesley_And_The_Curse... you said I live in the past through screenplays and self pity? First off, you couldn't write about anything I've wrote because you've never actually experienced it. Second... I wrote a script which was a quater true... and suddenly my lide is based on self pity through screenplays? That's extremely idiotic.

"I don't see a reason to p*ss on about how much life sucks, because it'll get better"

Firstly, my life doesn't suck... the lives around me, that I see, do. That's why I lime movies like Thirteen, because movie plots like that, happen around my area.

I actually don't even understand what the two of you are trying to say.

Also I couldn't write what you write because I like to have a story but that's beyond the fact, I wasn't talking about you, so please go back into your life and leave me alone

It was a general term, people write about there lives and are all like oh read this is based on my life. "Love me for having a rough life" Sorry, those kinda people if they can write a screenplay about there lives they must not have been that hard

Stop telling people how your life is, nobody cares. I would if you would have taken the time to get to know me but from experience I know people don't care. On this site or anywhere.

Are you saying I'm continously telling people about my life, or are you saying this "in general"

What the hell makes u think I want any form of sympathy from you or from anyone. And also give me ONE reason where it says I HAVE to make friends with people on this site or "get to know them", is it a law? Did you ever think that I just didn't wanna waist my energy talking to people who I can physically see?

I don't know what you're talking in the slightest, it's actually amusing, because I also think that this a WEAK, PATHETIC, stab at me, but honesty, I think you also don't have a clue what you're talking about. Maybe you should stop reading so much into everything. If the reason I'm not getting on with most people here, did you ever think that it's maybe cuz I defend things, such as This Is Your Life and Thirteen?

You know what, don't reply to this 'cause I can't be bothered to READ anymore of the complete and utter shit you have to write.

Anyways, I think once Mean Girls comes onto the movie network I'll give it a watch. it's probably not a great film but hey I will give anything a chance at least once

Maybe highschool life is completely different depending on where you live...  I live in the area mean girls took place,  me and my friends even go to the mall they mentioned in the movie, and this movie was so much like my highschool.  And if you live in Ireland, or canada, or wherever, I'd assume it would have many differences.
