A great heart-warming movie

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2013)

My mom hates this movie (of course because of the drug, alcohol, and sexual stuff), but I for one thought it was a great coming of age story. Of course it wasn't a movie that everyone would just watch it and see the lessons and whatnot, but I have experience with the mental disorder and this really touches it. I also have experience with watching my mom go through spousal abuse and refusing to make anything of it. Mental illness and spousal abuse need not be pushed aside, but to be acknowledged and treated. Please know this.. Also, if any of these things or anything at all is making you consider suicide, please also know that that is never the answer and that suicide is a permanent because he thought he couldn't get rid of the voices that could have been treated with medicine.
