Anyone else find this slightly creepy?

Still wrong after all these years. Kids here creep me out. They're not real kids like they have elsewhere!

I'm sorry to offend you. I was just talking about the movie and how its not so far off. I'm from the midwest originally so I know first hand the differences between the two. You're forced to grow up fast living in any urban environment. If thats a fault, I'm sorry.

Well, I am sorry that you happen to get so defensive when people speak about the midwest like it is your duty to protect it with duty & honor. I happen to be from a small town now. It is not the mid-west, but the same logic applies, wher, children here nowhere near a big city. And I am not offended at all by any comments about the differences between the maturity level between small town children and big city children. As it is completely true. Especially when it was clear that all that was being pointed out, is that the two enviroments, one being where the movie was made (manhattan) or it could be any other big city is going to have different effects on children as they grow up. People weren't knocking the mid-west or calling their children dumb and immature?! Obviously, it is common sense that a child being introduced to the streets at an earlier age, sometimes maybe being forced to interact with another god knows how many strangers a day, as opposed to just maybe his parents, friends, and family. Of course every child is going to meet strangers over their lifetime. But the rate at which it happens in the country pales in comparison to what it does to in the big city. Smarter is not the issue, nor is it an issue of puberty or physical maturity. It's actually an issue of being more mature on a mental level and having more "street smarts" per se. Alot are also more emotionally more mature and have more experience at a younger age; with a lot of different things (which isn't always a good thing mind you). Though this part seems to be leveling off more and more every day.

As for someone being creeped out by the movie? Are you kidding me? A cute little story about a boy's first girlfriend and love? I mean mabye the movie isn't for everybody, i understand, but creepy? If somebody found that movie creepy, I'd have serious questions about that person's psyche myself. IT is so uncreepy it is beyond me. And it is very plausible and believable. What parts did anybody have trouble getting? The subaway? Cause I have been to Boston. Have seen plenty of little kids not more than 10,11, or 12 on the sub-way, bus, and train before. The kids walking around, cause I have been to Boston, New York, and a layover in Chicago on my to Las Vegas on a train ride and we saw some kids-a-walkin'...I also lived in Pasadena for a year and Hollywood CA for a year. And believe it or not, I did not see so many kids walking around there. But you get my DRIFT. It does happen. And the movie took place in little MANHATTAN!!

MY first gf was in 3rd, and i know nobody cares, but why is this 11 year old to immature to have a girl friend at 11? It isn't like they were having pre-marital sex? There was one peck for an on screen 11 yr old kiss and the little girl ran away after it. Hard from creepy. Anybody see the movie 'Thirteen'.? Cause that is what the kids of today are really actually doing at 13!!!!! And every parent says nope not my kid, I raise mine right. It's all the parents fault. Well guess what to those all-star parents. I hope your right. Cause I know when I was in high school, and now with my little brother and sister, all the kids in the honors classes were and are at all the same parties as the other kids, and they were doing ALLL those things the other kids were. Cause those kids with the parents who think they it's every kid but their's could give two bleeps if they come from two parent households, with parents who are PTA members or holding down combined figure salaries when they are out partying. I bring this this up because, 13 yr olds are doing that, but you can't buy that an 11 yr old could have his first girlfriend and find his first love by 11 yrs old in the movie? NOt too mention, IT WAS A MOVIE!!!!!!! AND NOT A VERY CREEPY ONE AT THAT!!!!!!!! 5 STARS

"Anyone who thinks you can't be deeply in love at 11 years old either is too old to remember or never had it happen. You never love so deeply."

Tell me about it. Tressa, where are you? Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I grew up to be a straight woman but she was my first, and greatest love. In vain, I've sought that depth & intensity, and utter purity of feeling, since then.

Why am I telling you all this? OMG! *blushing & running shamefaced from the room*

yes i agree, im 14 and i hate it when my friends do it, it just makes them seem so simple minded

we all commit mistakes! i myself also. I forget to proofread my past post. And the fact that he/she is 13 yrs old. As he/she admited. lets give him/her a chance. If he/she is in a college level. Now thats a whole different story.


We all are human. We all commit mistkes. But what matters is we stand and correct each of thoose mistakes. "Its not how much you fall. But how much we stand against each fall we've made."
