__Juno__

To summarize this movie is about a sixteen year old high school student who gets pregnant. the movie show all the struggles she went through during her pregnancy and the many challenges she faced. This movie is relevant to our class because we have studied adolescent behavior and have learned that teenage pregnancy is a problem among this age group. Not only is it hard for the parents it also has negative effects on the children. Because the child is born into this type of situation there may be problems such as poor prenatal care or an unstable home life because the parents are not financially stable or educated enough to cope with the situation. In the movie the main character, Juno, first deals with the option to either have the child or get an abortion. After a lot of consideration she decides to keep the child. She then has to decide whether she is going to raise the child or if she will give it up for adoption. She decides on adoption which leads to the next dilemma which is letting her parents know. She also has to find the a couple she thinks will be good for the child and then has to face her decisions in the end and actually give her baby to the person who wants to adopt it. This is done all while trying to maintain a stable relationship with the father of the child.
