Although Juno is having Bleeker’s baby, Juno is clearly unsure about the relationship with Bleeker. At one point she acts as if she does not want to define the relationship with Bleeker as romantic, but she finds herself being jealous when Bleeker tells her that he asked another girl out for prom. Evidently, this relationship between Juno and Bleeker is producing anxiety, and Juno getting emotionally close to Mark subsequently reduced the anxiety. Although the dyad relationship between Juno and Bleeker become stabilized by the process of triangling, Juno realizes that breaking the marriage between Mark and Vanessa is not what Juno ever wanted. Oddly, the relationship between Juno and Bleeker find its strength through the event of delivering a baby, this is one way in which this film’s characters do not support a key principle of Bowen Theory.

Though simple in context, it was a message overflowing with applicable truth that gave me new perspective from that point forward. As I have examined my life since then, I often think about that sermon. Not only has that message been extremely relative to me, but I’ve also come learn that most often times we don’t realize or understand the reasons why our lives intertwine with certain people until well after they’ve come and gone.

However, there are a few that remain vividly burned into my memory. One in particular, which I hold with the highest degree of fondness, was so dynamic and had such a drastic impact on me that it shook my very character, resulting in a permanent,

As a society, we have been ingrained to reinforce the shame, privilege, and stigmatization towards people of diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations. Kevin Jennings, author of Mama’s Boy, Preachers Son: A Memoir of Growing up, Coming Out, and Changing Americas Schools, directly connects the intersecting challenges of sexual orientation, religion, education, and poverty.

There is much debate that homosexuality is a developmental problem caused by a weak bond between a father and son during one’s childhood. A failed relationship with one’s father can lead the boy to not fully internalize male gender identity and develop homosexually (Baird & Baird, 1995). Consider the gender development of identity. Infants indentify with their mother who is the first and primary source of nurturance and care. As girls age, they continue to identify mostly with their mother and boys shift towards their father.

This development task helps explain why boys have more difficulty than girls in developing gender identity and may also explain the higher ratio of male to female homosexuality (Baird & Baird, 1995). It is important that
