"Kids"

Even though the roles in the film are played by young teenagers the contents of the film are targeted towards the adult audience. I feel that this film is helpful in the sense that some of the story lines that go on in the film are an eye-opener to parents. Most of what the film is about happens so much in todays society. For example, Telly having sex with girls as young as 13, we hear about this all the time now as there are children as young as 11 who have had children of their own. The film also brings out awareness about teenagers binge drinking, smoking, taking drugs and going out to parties/ raves which are perhaps too advanced for young people. But society is accepting some of these acts as part of "teenage" life. Also parents are kept in the dark about where and what their children are doing, Telly telling his mum that he has been looking for a job when really he hasn't been is a prime example of this. Parents can not always be too sure what exactly their child/children are doing.
