Baby Flushed Down the toilet. (2 Viewers)

[mr_brightside]

Oh year Mr Brighside your so funny.
'how could you flush your child down the toilet?'
"1. Place in toilet.
2. Flush"
What is wrong with you, you find it a joke or something?

What do you mean "what is wrong with you"

How else do you do it?

I guess you could use a plunger....somehow...

I find it wrong because (if you have seen the film), it is protrayed as being okay. Which is incorrect. Its not okay to have a child at the age of 15 (not sure how old she was). I know the movie isn't based on anyone in particular but for any teenager watching the movie they may believe that it could be that simple for them to fix as well.

I think the film has a pretty clear message that Juno is not mature enough to raise a child, and keeping the child is the only option she does not consider. I don't agree the film says teen pregnancy is okay at all. While ultimately supportive, her parents are disapproving and her relationship with them is strained as a result of the pregnancy.
She is ridiculed and depressed at school. She falls out in her relationship with the father.

What part of this would make you want to have a teen pregnancy?

As for it being a simple problem to deal with- she struggles with the weight of whether to have an abortion. Far from simple. The process of giving the child up for adoption is hardly smooth in the film either, with fucked up relationships ending in Juno having a breakdown.

The birth scene, while lightish, hardly looks fun either.

I don't believe that she was coping. But being helped in most situations she came across.

If you believe she is not coping, does this not contradict what you already said about it being easy? Wouldn't this mean it makes teen pregnancy look emotionally difficult and overwhelming? Is it simple to fix or is it hard to cope with?

Of course i don't believe myself emotionally mature in all aspects. I do find myself mature to a point. But yes, why should children be shown this?

Did you honestly walk away after watching this film with the impression that having a teen pregnancy would be a pretty cool, fun and carefree thing to do? After considering the above points?

Do you really think so little of your fellow teens to believe they could walk out of the film dead keen to make some babies?

I mean if it was a movie about how not to become pregnant, wouldn't that be better?

It's not about what is better, or right etc... the film depicts a difficult situation that happens to thousands every year. I believe it shows it in a mostly honest way with reasonable consequences for every action.

In a similar way to films depicting family breakup, dysfunctional families etc... I believe this film would be usefull to young people who found themselves in this situation and are struggling to understand their choices. There is little sympathy and positive media regarding teen pregnancy, it happens, it's time some of the stigma was relaxed.

Film isn't supposed to show an idilic world of strong moral characters living a good christian life.

I completely fail to see how you made a reading of this film that was advocating teen pregnancy with no consequences?

Idiot. My parents were married.

Plus were wealthy when they had me.

When you want to insult someone, at least do a little research.

If htey were so wealthy why do they still live in the shire?

After reading your post Graney, i do agree.

However i am still skeptical about the film.

I don't believe teenagers are that stupid to have a baby. (well some)
I just think some teenagers find it okay. Which is wrong.

As you see on television with 'all these teens' having babies for the baby bonus is terrible not to mention heartbreaking for the children.

Much better when they get coupons instead of money.

Teen prenancy is wrong, in most cases.

No i don't think so.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE OF LOVE, NOT MONEY!

 

[you fraudin?]

You speak like some crazed conservative Christian.

Children are the spawn of a dirty deed, this is why thy creator created abortions.

ABORT THEM BY THE BARREL FULL BABY!
