I was told the movie was going to be really shocking and leave you with that strange feeling you sometimes get when watching a controversial or sicking film. Telly's actions throughout the film were sometimes hard to watch I think for me however it did not shock me that a young boy was having casual sex but more the age of the girls he was doing it with. The issue of HIV was uncomfortable to watch but I applaud the film for dealing with a subject that should be discussed more with young teenagers and adults. Casual sex is part of the youth culture for a lot of teens, so to bring attention to the fact that you can catch this utterly life changing disease at any time wherever you sleep with a lot of people or just one should be shown to educate kids of the dangers of UN- safe sex. It was overal I feel a shocking film but has a good strong message DON'T HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX!. Children are growing up so much faster these days and often not thinking about the consequences of there actions. This movie should be shown in schools to show kids that even though drinking and sleeping around may look fun, it can often carry serious consequences. I have included a link that shows the percentage of men and women catching a sexual transmitted disease under the age of 25. This has become an increasing problem over the country. Maybe educating teens early on with hard hitting films like kids might make them think twice when making the decision to use protection or not!

YEAH URE VIEW ON THE FILM IS QUITE GOOD, I AGREE THAT THE MSG OF THE FILM IS TO ALWAYS BE PROTECTED AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS USE A CONDOM. IT WAS A VERY SHOCKING EXPERIENCE TO WATCH A FILM LIKE THAT, HOWEVER I THINK ITS KIND OF GOOD BECAUSE IT OPENS PEOPLE EYES THAT LOOK THIS IS WHATS HAPPENING AND IT IS REALITY. NOT ALL THE TIME YOU WILL SEE A FILM WITH A HAPPY ENDING.
