So the movie wasn't great. The dialog was weak and unrealistic and Hannah's mother was too uptight.
But a lot of people aren't getting the core message of this movie. This is based on a true story. Over 200 teens in Rockland, Georgia contracted syphilis during 1996. Girls had sex with over 30 boys before the age of 16 just so they could be "more popular", feel "more accepted".
I'm a freshman in high school and I watched this movie in health class. I didn't really like it, but I appreciated that it gave real effort into scaring us into abstinence. Yeah, it seems far-fetched, like it couldn't happen. But outbreaks like this do, whether you want to believe it or not. In most schools, they aren't to this extent, but STD's or STI's can happen to anyone.
