In this column, Desiree Cooper writes about my new favorite movie "Juno". She gives a brief summary about the movie: sixteen year old gets pregnant and instead of aborting her baby she decides to give it up for adoption. Coopers says, "Juno" broadens the dialogue on teen sexuality by helping us peer into its devastating realities" and goes on to say that's a win for her.

Her point is summed up when she says, "too often, teenage mothers suffer the stigma and burden of raising a child, while the young fathers' lives stay on track". She writes about the lack of teen fathers and puts the pressure on them to step up and take responsibility. I mostly agree with her point, however I don't think she can stereotype all teen fathers into one mold. I'm sure there are plenty of them that took responsibility and helped their child's mother.

Cooper writes to an older adult audience, for example our parents. I think this because she says that the movie Juno showed her how some teens today handle unplanned pregnancies. If she were to write to our age group though, a few things would be changed. First of all, she should change this sentence: "it does a great job of deglamorizing what it's like to carry a child when you're a child yourself", because I don't think we, at sixteen, would like to be called children. We wouldn't want to relate to a column that makes us sound less mature than we might be. She would also have to change the way she described people, because she'd be writing to a different point of view. She calls the receptionist at the abortion clinic "a promiscuous twentysomething receptionist" and that's not how I would've described her having seen the movie. From my point of view and the point of view of my age group, I think she'd be seen as somewhat of a freak.
