High School Girl

High School Girl is a decent drama about a girl who gets pregnant (although that word never gets mentioned) because her mother never bothered to tell her about the dangers of going out with boys (and what can happen on dates). The only help the girl gets is from her brother and a biology teacher who tried to tell the kids of the dangers of "the human body" (unfortunately for Beth a little too late).

When I saw the movie it reminded me somewhat of the mother-daughter relationship in 'Carrie' and they would make an interesting double bill. Though nowadays a lot of the older movies have become somewhat dated, High School Girl still remains fresh and very watchable. Though sometimes the movie could have done without some morality teachings, it stays a movie you like to watch. However, I can't repeat the things I started to shout against the mother. And if you start shouting at a screen, there must be something good about the movie.
