I remember seeing this movie a week ago. Quite scary, but one thing is certain. I blame a lot of her behavior on the mom. She did not discipline her kids early enough and let them prance around the house. While one kid is rebellious, the other drank his pain away. I wouldn’t go spanking her at the age she is because she knows the system too well and it would only escalate into a physical battle. The girl needed discipline and help. She knew what she was doing is wrong and couldn’t help it, but did it anyway and the mom tolerated it. The mom drank when her daughter lost control of her behavior.
Lol yea cause nobody is ever responsible for thier own actions have you ever had an abusive child ? Have you ever had to live with the constant fear and pain of one ? I’m gonna guess not cause if you had you would know that that child will do what they’re want when they want no matter what you try to do. You obviously don’t know how a narcissists works either since you believe discipline has any effect only thing that does is open the door for that child to feel like they now have a reason to hurt you , maybe do some research on abusers and come back
Does anybody know what the song is which Deena is listening to when she is in her bedroom getting ready to go out, and her mother comes in with food saying "room service"? It's a sort of upbeat reggae song and it's driving me nuts that I don't know the name of the song or the artiste!
So why did the daughter hate the mom so much? To me it seemed like she was really trying. Was it the drinking? This movie really irritated me… my children got 1 time to put they hands on me!
Deena was so annoying, even before the family's/parents issues came to light. And she was willing to abandon them (including her innocent younger brother) for that creepy-looking "boyfriend" who was cheating on her the whole time? Pathetic!
What a weak mother. You can never let you kid have the upper hand in the relationship. You discipline like a warden. If she hit me the first time I would kick her out. Let the streets kick her butt. My friend's parents kicked her out for two weeks and she changed her attitude real fast. Not fun living on the streets.
Whoa!! Hilarious? Really? Let me ask you something, did you watch The Burning Bed? did you watch the Tracey Thurman Story? did you watch Dangerous Child? Would I go around and say those made for tv movies are hilarious? Hell no!! Those are very dramatic and tackle social issues. And they have powerful acting, too, come on, wake up! If you want hilarious, then watch a comedy film. Made for TV drama movies are powerful to watch, network or cable, especially in the 90s. Thank you very much, God bless you.
Rhetorical questions that I'm sure a lot of kids have: do parents forever supersede their children? Do they always get to call the shots? Even if the kids are 18 or higher?The answer is, as long as the children are dependent on them (which means as long as the children are living at home with them, that counts as being dependent on them. As long as the parents are the ones providing the financial support, that counts as a dependency on them), yes, they do. The kids' age alone won't free them from this. Only if/when they actually do move out, and support themselves.
No, not at all..... where did you here that? Once they're 18 the parents can't do shit as far as telling them what to do even if they are living with them especially if their kid has their own money. Only very controlling parents would attempt to control what they do but they would try to do that even if they're not living with them. I've seen it.
