~~Trivia~~ * Toward the end of the movie when Brooke dumps Tracy's things out on the table there is a pack of Morley cigarettes (as in "The X Files" (1993)) in the box. * The script was written in only six days. * Loosely based on true events in actress/co-writer 'Nikki Reed''s life. * Many of the clothes, furniture and make-up used in the film belonged to the actual cast. * The tongue stud that 'Nikki Reed' wore in the film was real, but Evan Rachel Wood's was not. It was made like a suction cup, but occasionally would fall off. Because of this, she ended up accidentally swallowing a few of them by the time the movie had finished filming. * Throughout the film, there is a very prominent ad that shows a woman's white face, and underneath it are the words "Truth Is Beauty". The eyes of this woman belong to lead actress 'Nikki Reed'. Throughout the movie, as Tracy falls deeper into trouble, the face becomes more distorted and dirty. * Eliza Smith wrote the poem that Tracy recites in the beginning of the film. * Tracy was originally going to be played by 'Nikki Reed'. * The advertisement for Sibul that is shown throughout the movie is named after producer Christina Sibul. * In the scene where Melanie questions Tracy about her belly button ring, a reference is made to rapper Bubba Sparxxx. One of Tracy's lines is taken from his first single, "Ugly" in which he raps, "That's just my mood now, I hate it came to this. How else can I say it? I don't speak no other languages." * In the scene before the intervention, where Brady picks Tracy up after school, the car had quit working so it was being pushed by crew members off camera. * During the belly piercing scene, Tracy says "What the fuck did you do" that was not scripted because Nikki had actually poked the top of Evan Rachel Wood's belly with the needle. She still has the scar to prove it. * The low-budget film was shot in an actual house that the crew had rented out for the duration of filming. Holly Hunter (Melanie) was amazed to see that the water worked. Brady Corbet (Mason) only lived about a block away from the house so he was able to walk to shooting. * Teenage singer/songwriter Katy Rose wrote the song "Lemon" especially for "thirteen" after reading an article about the movie in the paper. "Lemon" is played during the credits, while another Katy song, "Overdrive" is in the film. * Except for a few scenes, almost the entire movie was shot by a handheld camera. * During the scene in which Evie and Tracey inhale computer dust-off to get high, and then hit each other, 'Nikki Reed' suffered a real injury. * Although she played the younger sister to the character of Brady Corbet, Evan Rachel Wood is actually older than him. * 'Vanessa Hudgens' film debut. * Because of the film's low budget, the girls' clothes in the movie is mostly from their own wardrobe. Hardwicke noted that as filming progressed, the girls began to dress similarly without being told to.

People, this is really what happens to alot of 13 year olds.

I know alot of 13 year old that go through this shit. Its acually what happens, so don't say that they should higher the age, because its really what happens.

You really have to be a teenager to understand <3

[Libbymariehaw]

I LOVE the trivia ;D

[preciouseloveu]

Thing's are different in other places. In one community the teens could be squeaky clean and study the bible, in others they could all be druggies whores. it varies. Just because it happened to you or haven't seen that happen, doesn't mean it never occurs. This is actually loosely based on Nikki Reeds life at part 12 and 13.
