She is lucky ...


She is lucky she didn't get pregnant. One of those guys could have gotten her pregnant.

Who cares?

To be fair, she probably would have...

I was wondering why this subject wasn't touched upon. I'm not sure a girl of her age back in the '70s would have been on the pill or that her sexual partners would all have been using condoms.

I wanted her to get pregnant by her mothers boyfriend. Gasp!

I thought the same thing for part of the movie, and the other half thinking she had one horrible mom.

They might have used condoms. No way to tell. The movie didn't go into that.

It didn't go into it be ause it had another focus altogether. It focused on Mini's point of view regarding her sexual awakening and those feelings had nothing to do with using or not using condoms. Movie's don't show every little detail of a given experience they tend to only include the highlights of the experience according to a particular point of view or theme.

Yeah because she's abused and completely *beep* up but the worst part would have been her getting pregnant.

Actually, it may have been. She was totally messed up and had no business trying to raise a child at that point in her life. Not saying she couldn't but that certainly was far from an optimal child rearing situation with her immature mother and her young age and irresponsibility. Who would help her support the child? Monroe?? Her absentee father? Sure, her sister looked well-adjusted enough but who knows for sure. We only see a small slice of that character and have no idea of the emotional scarring she endured with such a dysfunctional family.

From your comment, we'd obviously disagree. Just giving a second opinion and agreeing with the OP here.

Its a movie and not real life
