13 GOING ON 30

After total humiliation at her thirteenth birthday party, Jenna Rink wants to just hide until she's thirty. Thanks to some wishing dust, Jenna's prayer has been answered. With a knockout body, a dream apartment, a fabulous wardrobe, an athlete boyfriend, a dream job, and superstar friends, this can't be a better life. Unfortunately, Jenna realizes that this is not what she wanted. The only one that she needs is her childhood best friend, Matt, a boy that she thought destroyed her party. But when she finds him, he's a grown up, and not the same person that she knew. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337563/

So, what do you think about 13 going on 30?

In my opinion, there should be many different answers. There are many cultures, generally tribal, in which 13 year old girls are married and raising children. They are raised from birth on how to provide for their family. They would be considered good mothers, otherwise their cultures or societies wouldn't have been able to survive so long.

Now, I don't really believe that a 13 year old girl would be as good as a 30 year old woman in our society. They are unable to provide for their baby's basic needs and will have a hard time acquiring the skills needed to succeed.

They can give their baby love and support but will not have the life experience necessary to fully support it herself and will not be able to give it all of the advantages it needs.

By the way, I enjoyed this movie and would like to recommend everyone to watch it.
