2nd viewpoint

My first blog on the film "No Cinderella Story" I argued that the maker of the film did not properly portray American teens today. I claimed that since only teenagers from a small group of people were shown that it did not accurately depict all teenagers. However, after analyzing what I had previously written and also reviewing the film for a second time I realized that perhaps I was not completely correct. I do not believe that the maker of this film intended to show how the majority of American teens today are like. Instead I feel as though they wished to give people an idea of the problems that are beginning to arise. Teens nowadays are starting to engage in sex at younger and younger ages, and this is not just happening is Staten Island. They obviously wanted people to see that something needs to be done to change the way young people view sex. I do give the maker credit for creating a very dramatic and eye opening film about the important subject of teenagers and sex. Even though I better understand the point that the maker of this film was trying to get across to people, I still believe he or she could have had an even more persuasive argument by taking simply interviewing teens from all backgrounds and locations across the country.
