Ok_ everything in this movie is what all happened to me when I was 13 met a girl became bsfs started doing drugs now all the cops in gp know me and started drinking boys holy more drugs fighting with my mom I was really crazy
You practised self destructive behaviour and yet you have no regrets. Random men allowed to degrade you sexually, then you say 'love yourself ladies'?... Are you still high or just very fucked up
@@camelio10 You'll never understand until you've lived it. This movie was essentially my freshman year with my old best friend and I simultaneously regret it and cherish the memories. I'm thankful that the pain is over but I also miss it. It's not black and white, it's not good or bad. Pain is not entirely bad, it's often addicting because it's so easy to feel pain when there's nothing else to feel. I'm not sure whether or not you went through anything similar to what happened to Tracy and Evie in Thirteen, but I'd suggest you step the fuck down. There is no point in trying to envoke guilt in those that carry nostalgia of self-destructive behaviors. People that are self-destructive are sick to some degree, not animals. Just...stop.
Trad Kitten What's even funnier is that there's supposedly some concern that Tracy is becoming anorexic but there are 2 scenes in a 2 hr. movie where everyone is eating pizza. The movie made me hungry.
Unless you're doing a lot harder stuff than what the kids are doing in the movie, it takes years for the body to build up to an addiction. Paint can fumes are a relatively harmless psychoactive.
This movie is great but when I watched it as a kid it made me feel like I needed to be like this to be cool and accepted. Obviously now I think everything they did isn't cool. I would never let my daughter watch this as a child/teen. People really don't understand the effect movies/ TV shows can have on kids.
I think you're projecting. It's true that it had that effect on some people, but not on everyone. The actors and the director themselves have said that people have had different experiences watching it and tell them about it when they meet.
@@muirn3 My daughter will be 13 in October. She doesn't act anything like that. I didn't act like that at 13 and I grew up in the hood. I still don't let my kid watch that because I wouldn't want to let it influence her. Those girls on there acted extremely trashy.
@@stephaniemarie5845 What I'm saying is, and I'll repeat myself, is that it doesn't influence _everyone_ who watches it to act in an "extremely trashy" way. For example, for some it scared them off that behaviour and for others it started healing processes in households. I'm not gonna persuade you to show it your kid as you can parent how you want but this is a fact whether you care or not.
I try to advocate for non-opinion based learning as much as I can. Have fun :) but-Shit happens. Try not to fall too far in, it's hard to climb back out sometimes, even if you wanted to.
I honestly love this movie but from the moment i watched it when I was 15, I didn't see how people could want to be like Tracy and Evie unless they were really young and didn't get the trauma and pain causing them to do those things.
Remember how we used to party up all night? Sneaking out n looking for a taste of real life, Drinking in the small town firelight... Sweet 16 and we had arrived, Walking down the streets as they whistle "hi hi!" Stealing police cars with the senior guys, Teachers said we'd never make it out alive. There she was, my new best friend High heels in her hand, swaying in the wind, And she starts to cry, mascara running down her little Bambi eyes... "Lana how I hate those guys!" This is what makes us girls We don't look for heaven, and we put love first Something that wed die, for its a curse... Don't cry bout him, don't cry about him! This is what makes us girls, We don't stick together 'cause we put love first Don't cry about him don't cry about him It's all gonna happen That's where the beginning of the end begun, Everybody knew that we had too much fun, We were skipping school and drinking on the job... With the boss! Sweet 16 and we had arrived, Baby's table dancin' at the local dive, Cheering our names in the pink spotlight, Drinking Perignon in the velvet night. Yo, we used to go break into the hotel Glimmering, we'd swim, running from the cops In our black bikini tops, screaming "get us while we're hot" We don't a whaaaaaaa- This is what makes us girls We don't look for heaven, and we put love first Something that wed die, for its a curse... Don't cry bout him, don't cry about him! This is what makes us girls, We don't stick together 'cause we put love first Don't cry about him don't cry about him It's all gonna happen The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen, Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean A freshman generation of degenerate beauty queens, And you know something? You were the only friends I ever had. I got in trouble and when stuff got bad, I got sent away, Waving on the train platform crying cause I know I'm never coming back... This is what makes us girls We don't look for heaven, and we put love first Something that wed die, for its a curse... Don't cry bout him, don't cry about him! This is what makes us girls, We don't stick together 'cause we put love first Don't cry about him dont cry about him It's all gonna happen
@@bythewaterwithlove Lol, it feels even more weird thinking about 13 years old girls doing stuff like that while i'm 19 today and havn't done 1 thing from what they have done lol
i love this movie because it`s really raw but these comments are GLORIFYING the girls actions as if this is "cool". it`s the opposite. their lives are fucked up because of this. its definitely not bAdAsS
There’s two reasons for that. 1.) teens and young adults thinking their one or two beers at a party and mild shoplifting are paramount to what these girls are doing, and 2.) people who already have issues who haven’t yet acted on them will take anything as glamorized. I felt this movie did a good job not glamorizing it. I found it very clear that Tracy had an unstable home life and underlying mental illness. I was similar, at least with a young interest in older men. Not at 13, and for different reasons, but this movie kind of helped me see the bullshit in my own life before it got to that level.
This comment section is sick ! I don’t geht why everyone wants to be them didn’t you watch the whole movie?¿¿ It really scared me to not do drugs and stuff like that and I guess that’s the message isn’t it?
exactly. this movie was made to raise awareness to how easy it is to make bad decisions, especially at a young age. it makes me so sad that tracys character/life was based off of niki reeds (evie) teen years. sick. and i've seen people saying that they want a bad friend like evie but wth?? evie was so toxic and manipulative and def just took advantage of the fact that tracy wanted to be like her and people saying that they were in love with eachother makes me so mad. the end just proves how evie only cared abt herself.
i’m turning 14 soon and wanted to watch this film and i know exactly how tracy felt it made me realise how i could affect my mum when i act like that..
I honestly relate to every aspect of this movie so anyone who says it’s unrealistic is wrong. this wasn’t dramatized one bit. Every word and every action in this film was legitimate. When Tracy’s mother found out she was cutting, that’s exactly how it went for me. Exactly. Same emotions, same crying till I can’t make a sound as my mother held me, grabbing my wrist. It’s horrific.
I've never understood why people cut themselves. I agree that it's horrific. So why do people do it? If someone has problems in their life, they will still have those problems after they cut, and in addition their body will bear ugly, embarrassing scars for the rest of their life. Makes no sense. Is it just a matter of people not being taught to have sense?
@@danatufts9205 it is mental anguish, a way to release and even express the pain you feel. Its a mental illness, that you have to go through in order to understand.
After I watched this movie my whole life was changed , me and my best Freund did all those things that they did but now I know that I did a lot of bad thing and that everybody thinks that I’m a slut , it‘s hard to live with it but it‘s my fault never watch this movie as kid/teen it‘s too dangerous
But this movie should do the opposite! I am a millennial and I saw it when I was young; to me it acted like a “be good or this is what happens: it seems cool but in the end it’s a ugly mess” The movie did not glorify the bad company! You should take in consideration the end of the movie
@@awesomeone2979 Being "a slut" as a teenager is bad and dangerous. Girls sexualize themselves too much to be liked and they miss on their childhood. And the people to blame are those responsable for the early sexyalization of women, who are mostly men.
This song and this movie make me weirdly nostalgic for the worst years of my life. I wasn’t as extreme as these kids, and more goth/punk. I was a good student so I flew under the radar a lot. I’m kind of shocked I’m a stable adult now.
Remember how we used to party up all night? Sneakin' out and lookin' for a taste of real life Drinkin' in the small town firelight (Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice) Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived Walkin' down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"

this song really helps me when am sad. it makes me feel like i dont give a fuck about my problem. Instead i just live my life to the max like it is the last every day . (and nigh lol)
I didn’t see it until I was an adult but Evie is a victim in her own right. A 13 year old doesn’t get to be that manipulative without being in extreme survival mode. She has her scar, and she has no relationship with her family. Her reasons change and she lets people believe whatever gets her what she wants. Her story is never told because she is running from it. Also, I think she starts out as the bad influence but both girls were a time bomb. They unknowingly influenced and escalated each other. Evie is stealing small items from a teen store. Tracy steals a whole wallet. Evie introduces Tracy to drugs. They are both making out with dudes, but Tracy takes it to a sexual level and Evie is all shocked about oral. Then Evie escalated things with Tracy’s adult neighbor. They flip flop influencing each other negatively. Both girls have trauma. Both girls have mental health issues. Evie may not suffer consequences in the movie but that’s because she has nobody that cares about her enough to give her those consequences, before something worse happens.
This movie made me and my best friend grow up. She was 13 and I was 14 when we watched it the first time... This is now 13 years ago... I miss the old teenage days! We even lost both our virginity while this movie was playing...at the same night...to the same guy. Strange, I know. But it's true and I don't regret it!
This movie represents all of my experiences from 14-22 and is so realistic for me it hurts! It all ended in addiction, trouble, fucking chaos but a lot of those memories I’ll hold with me for the rest of my life!
I think this movie helped me know I’m not the only one who got screwed the fuck over by “friends” and that my mom was the one still there after every one was gone. Except my mom is mentally ill. So really I had nobody but myself
I loved watching this film i am 13 it is my favourite film and i just want to look like tracy and evie but the film also made me open up my eyes and realise this lifestyle doesn’t end well but i love the film and the actors/actresses 💕🤍😍
