@ZachTheOne wat's she taking? there are people in worst situations than her who spend better than she does. why don't she use that money for an education than complaining how she's on welfare and not have a job.

I have no sympathy because she's never really worked and never really well because she's pretty enough to get back packed for the rest of her life.

work can be enjoyable. Pick the Job you lIke and you lill never have to work again:)

Interesting pictures. I think the movie gives a honest and respectful insight to how teenagers on the verge of becoming an adult are copeing with the economi crisis.

Although, I do think that the last "coloured" picture clashes to much with the other ones throughout the movie.
