The film "kids" was I believe an extreme of what the reality is that exists in the world of children today. I believe that similar events happen but maybe just not to the extreme that it shows in the film. I think more importantly the Directors point of the film has to be widely explored in order for him to even come up with such an idea. This film shows irresponsibility in so many ways. The fact that Telly never feels the need to get himself checked out and how he sees nothing wrong in manipulating young children who haven't reached the age of puberty into having sex with him. The fact that he doesn't even wear a condom whilst having sex, which results him getting aids. There is irresponsibility shown through Casper who gets so drunk that he doesn't remember raping Jenny, he uses his comical characteristic to end the film with "What the fuck happened". There is also a lack of parental control or awareness in the film, we hardly see an adult in the film even at the scenes which involve the house parties. Telly's mother is represented as a good role model for the children, as she is shown smoking whilst breast-feeding her child infront of Telly, her son and his friend Casper. This film has resemblances to the film "Kidulthood", it maybe represents a reality that kids are becoming more and more engrossed into an adult world and there is very little that many can do.
