The movie "Thirteen" is a fascinating look into the behavior of some of today's youth.  However, if your daughter is displaying any of the behaviors in this film, it would be smart to immediately confront her and get her help.

Ohhh drama.  Well I know how "unfair" it can feel when you're the oldest - I have a younger brother and sister. They can get away with ANYTHING!!!  I had strict dating, curfew, driving (no getting into a car w/ a guy until I was 17), etc. rules.  It can still be obnoxious when I watch them do whatever they please w/o consquence - here's a great analogy:\nI'm the oldest, so I had to start breaking through all the ice b/w me and "freedom," my sister, the middle child, had to trudge through the pieces and push it out of the way...then there's my brother, the baby and the boy of the family - all he has to do is float along and do whatever his heart desires.  It's such bulls**t.  But, alas, that is life.\n\nThe 17 year old you're talking about has a point - yes, it s**ks that she wasn't allowed to date at 14...I wasn't either.  But now, my brother who is 13 gets to go out with girls to the movies (that would NEVER have been allowed in my case - and I was less of a jerk and got better grades, too).  \n\nSo, while the 17 year old is right that it's unfair, she should bring it up with her parents and not take it out on her sister.  She really needs to get over herself and stop being dramatic.  My younger sister really ticks me off sometimes - but this 14 year old doens't sound like she is evil or dating someone to maliciously spite her sister.  The 14 year old can just learn how to cope w/o her sister's advice and support b/c the 17 year old will continue having tempertantraums.

I believe it does and it can persuade their attitudes.  My daughter was watching Lizzie McGuire on Disney and I noticed she started picking up some of the mannerisms and attitudes which were not to my liking.  The character Lizzie has no respect for her parents and seems to think she knows more.  The show makes the parents look stupid.  I don't allow her to watch it and I explained to her why.

Throught most of the movie these two characters seem very different, however, towards the end it is revealed that they more similar than they would like to admit.  \nKat seems to be anti-social and full of angst.  However, throught the movie we learn that alot of this is due to the burdon of being a constant example for her younger sis, and hiding the secret about her past relationship with Joey.  In the end, we see Kat as someone who can open her heart, can learn to love, and is capable of taking care of herself and those around her.\nBianca seems to be a typical "popular kid" who is only worried about her lipgloss and the latest fashions.  In the end we learn that she is not as superficial as she might like to think, and that she also doesn't care what people think about her.\nWow, I so thought I would come up with something better than that!  Sorry!  But I love the movie!

I completely agree with you John D. She just might ruin this movie. She's so irritating.

I didn't like 12 at all, but I'll probably watch 13 out of curiousity.  I don't really have high hopes for sequels in general because they're a call option on the original and the people don't have incentive to do it well since it'll make money anyway.\n\nI did like 11, though.  It was clever.

Hi there.\n\nI would say that it is definately suitable for a thirteen year old, I havent read ti myself but I have read the reviews and an interview she did regarding it and she said that she specifically wrote it for young girls, to insire them and there is nothing unsiutable in there. Also the reviews have said that it is not ''very reaveling'' which basically meant it didnt have the smutty stuff like other celebs such as jodie marsh and jordan.\n\nI think it would be great for a presant for a 13 yr old. My sister is 13 and I'm getting it for her for xmas.\n\nHope that helps

yes, I seen the movie and caught that. It was part of the story as to why everyone thought she was a slut, ect... Because she had her son and there was no father.

If you could make it over here I've got some very fashionable washing to do.\n\nAlthough I'm a bloak I did find 30 going on 13 a very funny film; I'd start there and see what it brings to mind.\n\nAfter that, it's onward!

My 5 year old daughter and I went to the local Blockbuster one evening to rent some movies.  She picked out a Disney flick, and I rented Thirteen Ghosts (if you've seen it, you know its not for kids).  Anyway, when she saw the cover, she thought it looked "cool" and asked if she could watch it with me.  I told her no, that this movie was only for adults.  The next day in school, she told the teacher that we had rented movies, but that "Dad said I wasn't allowed to watch the adult movies".  Needless to say, she came home with a note, basically asking (tactfully) what she had said, in a round-about way asking if my wife and I were into porno flicks.  I thought it was hysterical - I laughed and laughed.  Art Linkleter was right - kids say the darn'dest things.  We still get a good chuckle from that story to this very day!

its a publicity stunt to compare the two and to make sure that she is not looked down upon. I personally don't care what the girl does. she is a regular person that got pregnant. difference is, she could make many religious people not watch it and hurt budget because she is a teen that got pregnant. whats the plan to save the movie.... she is just like Mary. like i said... it doesnt effect me in any way, shape or form. will i see the movie? who knows. will it be because of this stunt, not likely.

Wait...you're talking about Hostel?! I went to see that movie with three of my friends and my mom (my friends and I are 16)...IT WAS HORRIBLE! We left in the middle of the movie and got our money back because the WHOLE movie was porn...I'm not up for that. It was soo gross. I mean, as a 16 year old female, do I really wanna see naked women all up on dudes..? NO! That's gross...

all right... it was a very painful movie, not because it's boring and not good at all but because it was so powerful you'd feel real pain watching some scenes in the movie. it's also directed by the great miike (he's seen in the movie hostel!).\n\nhere goes. this man just lost his wife and his son's actually okay with the idea of his dad being remarried again. he held an audition but that was a front - because he really wanted to meet the girl he would want to marry through this, so he met this girl. but it turned out that this girl had a very dark past and led him into something really painful. painful is just the right term for all of this. anyway, i don't want to tell you all the details. i suggest you try to find a copy of this movie and watch it. trust me, it's good. :)

Description of the film 13 - don't know whether this is what you want or not.\n\nAt the edge of adolescence, Tracy is a smart straight-A student--if not a little naive. When she befriends Evie, the most popular and beautiful girl in school, Evie leads Tracy down a path of sex, drugs and self-mutilation. As Tracy transforms herself and her identity, her world becomes a boiling, emotional cauldron fueled by new tensions between her and her mother--as well as, teachers and old friends. \n\nThis is a film written by teenager Nikki Reed and starring Reed, Holly Hunter, Jeremy Sisto, and Evan Rachel Wood\n\nhttp://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1808450790&intl=us\n\ns

Do you know a mature 13 year old? J.K. Perhaps that 13 year old's parents should screen it first.

I think that I could have handled it at thirteen, but it's really about how much you want to expose yourself or your child (did you specify?) to. \n\nI guess it's not a big deal if the 13-year-old sees it, but some of the sexual contents might disturb him/her and they might end up asking lots of questions...

When I was younger none of them did, but as I have gotten older it happens more often that I care for it to.  I think the more life experience that you have, the more you can relate to the characters in the story, the more of a chance it will affect you emotionally; either that, or it is just hormones.\n\nThe most recent one was "Eight Below", the one with Paul Walker and the dogs that he had to abandon in Antartica...at least I was at home as we rented it on DVD.   Was most embarrassed to cry at the theatre seeing "Bruce Almighty" after the break up with my fiance.
