Juno is a movie about a teenage girl who confronts an unplanned pregnancy as well as the many events that comes with being pregnant at a very young age, and the pressure of being an adult.

Teen pregnancy is such a hard topic to talk about and explain since it’s different within each family and each family deals with it very differently, like in the film with Juno. This film was such an interesting movie to watch, it was funny, sad, shocking, and much more. I feel it has an overall social model throughout the film, it acknowledges and shows the effects of economic, cultural factors, wellbeing, big conditions on health as well as the most importantly; dealing with teen pregnancy and quickly becoming an adult. I believe this film is important because not only does it reflect on many health concerns, but it represents and addresses health inequalities and disadvantages that it exists with our very own society. For example, the WHO (World Health Organization) support community practices very much on principle and by high values. The most important things I believe the film does and promote is; health relating to teen pregnancy, social economic statues, illness, and maturing into an adult, and abortion. The film and the characters play well as to doing an amazing job at showing how hard life can be for a teenager, it changes who you are. It changes those around you and your life becomes upside down. For some it can be bad, but for other it can be good. It spreads awareness about how hard it is and why we shouldn’t think it’s a good think to get pregnant while being a teen when in related it changes everything around you, from money, school and many more. As well as the health concerns, you get with, from having back pain, health problem, how it changes your body, how it affects your relationship between your family and friends as well with the current partner one is

    I chose the topic to research what effect that pregnancy has on teenagers, their families and the people around them. Especially wanted to focus on the teenage girl and the decisions she has to make when she finds out she is pregnant. It is a huge responsibility to make the decision to have a child, to give your child up for adoption or to decide to abort your child; no matter the age. Teen parents are put into little stereotypes based on what people think they know about them, or what they have heard. I chose this topic because two of my sisters were teen parents, my other sister chose abortion and a lot of my friends got pregnant at a young age.…
