Tiffany's Final Cultural Analysis

Cultural Analysis
On Christmas Day in 2007, “Juno” was released in theaters everywhere. Juno is a movie about a 16 year old high school teenager who has sex with her best-friend (sort of), but is not her boyfriend. Juno then finds out that she has gotten pregnant and thinks that her whole world has came down and crashed upon her. She wishes that her life would go back to normal, but in reality she knows that during the next 9 months it’s not. Throughout the course of the movie Juno teaches and shows not only teenagers but everyone the struggles, responsibility and maturity that one would gain after getting pregnant and actually keeping the baby. Juno shows us her life and what she has to go through because of the responsibilities that she has made. She shows us that everything in life is not all that it is cracked up to be and she learns to appreciate the things in life that she already has right there in front of her face.
16 and pregnant, sounds like a lullaby for many teenagers here in the US today, wishing that their pregnancy would go away. This is why many females tend to go towards the abortion method because they feel as if they are not ready to have a baby or that their life will be put on hold forever and it will never be the same after the pregnancy. Juno’s friend Leah was the typical friend who told Juno that she should get an abortion at the clinic, because she felt that, that would be the easiest and fastest way to get rid of her pregnancy, although it would be the fastest way it is not the easiest nor is it the safest. While Juno’s other friend on the other hand, Su- Chin who is a pro-life follower told both Juno and Leah that Juno’s baby probably has little toes and fingernails already grown on her inside of her. After Su-Chin tells them that Leah and Juno decide to go for adoption. This is one positive way to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy. Many females forget about the other available options for getting rid of an unwanted pregnancy they just go straight towards abortion. After telling her parents, who actually wished that they would have rather of her told them that she was on drugs other than pregnant, was not that upset with it and was going to help her get through the pregnancy and find decent and responsible adoptive parents for her child.
After finding the adoptive parents for her unborn child, one would think that their life was perfect and that they have everything they could ever want and that a baby would complete that but she learns that this is not true.
Although we all strive to seem as if we have a perfect life, nobody will ever have a perfect life. The writer shows us the struggles that one goes through like wondering whether or not if one is ready to take care of an unborn child. The writer shows the struggles of both Juno and the soon to be “adoptive parents”. The writer also uses a white middle class teenage student, which is like the average female who gets pregnant. Juno, on one hand portrays all of the pregnant teenagers in the U.S today, and some of the changes that most teenagers go through whether or not they should have an abortion; while most of the time they see as a an abortion is an easy route out. With the adoptive parents he shows that even though some people may seem as the “perfect” couple , everyone has their ups and downs. Not everyone is as ready as they think they are to take care of a child. This is why females, teenagers especially should take birth control if they know that they are sexually active, and practice wearing condoms. And unlike in the movie where one parent was not ready to have a child, there are many families out there who would love to raise your child, because of other factors in which makes them unable to have children. So instead of killing a baby , females need to think of other factors that could help them and even others around them.
