Thirteen is a movie about a teenage girl who is trying to find her place in life. Tracy the main character is a sweet girl, a straight A student,and a little naive, that her biggest worries were her studies, but when she finds that she will go unnoticed in junior high school with that attitude, she decides to change, and makes friends with the most popular girl in school, Evie Zamora. Evie is a troubled teenager, she does not have a stable household, she cheats, does petty crime, does drugs, and trough out the movie we see that she really does not care about anybody but herself. When Tracy and Evie become friends, at first, Tracy is reluctant of Evie’s way of being, but wanting so much to fit in and befriend with Evie, she gives in to peer pressure, making Tracy, troubled and unstable. Tracy develops a bad habit of cutting, to release the emotional pain, because her parents are divorced, and because she hates her mother boyfriend, Brady. This makes Tracy’s mother, Mel very worried and the mother daughter relationship, starts to crumble. I really like this movie because I can relate to the main character in so many ways, also because it’s a really good movie. not only because this movie shows us in black and white what almost every teenager goes through, peer pressure, drugs, sex, petty crime, rebelling, family problems, and emotional problems, but because it gives us a really good adivce, dont trust every girl who says its you friend, its ok to exprience new stuff in life, but its not ok to exaggerate. I think every teenager, between the ages of 12, 13 and up, should watch this movie because he or she would know what’s really out there, and also I think parents should watch this movies because then they would know what to do and what not to do, if a situation like that were ever to happen, but also could recognize the signs of trouble, distress or depression.
