Less eligibility is one of the concept you can see throughout the movie. The mother is getting welfare services because Precious is living in the home. In addition, she get services for Precious's daughter. Her daughter lives with the grandmother, who brings her over when the social worker comes for a visit, so the mother would get more services. The mother loses her benefits when Precious is kicked out of school. The mother tells Precious to go to welfare and get money instead of going to school.
Denial is another concept you see. At first she was in denial about being raped by her father. An example of this is when the principal asked her how she got pregnant, she answers “I had sex.” She did not tell her father had raped her. Furthermore
