The arising conflict, which puts extra strain on Mark's relationship with Vanessa, who is so sure in her desire to have a child, results in their separation and the falling apart of what seemed such a perfect solution to Juno's predicament. Mark and Vanessa's separation hits Juno especially hard, because in her helpless situation Mark and Vanessa's seemingly perfect situation not only grounded her but gave her hope, as her birth parent's divorce and the dysfunctional relationship between her father and stepmother seem to give her no hope for happiness now or later in life.

At the start of the film, they hit the viewer with a gut-wrenching situation that begins in 1977, when a young nurse was working in the obstetrics unit at a major hospital, where she stumbled upon a LIVE baby, who was placed in a ‘dirty utility room,’ left to die! What she didn’t understand at the time, was that Roe vs. Wade had just been passed by the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled in favor of the legalization of abortions. The staff in the facility scolded her as she tried to explain that a baby was alive and was in need of help after left to die! After hearing the doctors’ instructions, she went against their orders and decided to hold the baby in her arms and listen to his soft whimpers, crying for survival. As she continued to hold the baby, she decided to baptize him, ultimately saying “I name you John, and I will tell the world what I saw here today. I will be your voice!” The film’s ultimate purpose is to convince the viewer and bring about the issues associated with abortion.

Whether it be due the malleable minds of children, or the turbulent world around them, dramatic changes in life are an absolute certainty. Young, naïve children are highly impressionable. Their parents teach them one thing, their friends another, and society, yet something else. Fickle, they morph in and out of the plethora of ideologies and mindsets laid out in front of them. This leads to a disorienting and rather confusing child-to-young-adult life, one without a clear sense of morality. The lack of focus upon what is right and wrong, inherently subjective terms, continues into our early adult hood and, for better or worse, seemingly defines the child for the rest of his or her life. This universal theme has been explored for many years through films aptly called “coming-of-age” stories, recently, and perhaps most effectively in Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom (2012). This film revolves around Sam and Suzy, two recently pubescent kids, their romantic affair, and their effects on the world around them. The film not only captures the youthful dynamic between the two protagonists, but explores the “coming-of-age” theme through Anderson’s signature flat perspective and through the actors’ portrayals of these characters.

The film 17 Girls directed by Delphine Coulin and Muriel Coulin is the story of how a small town is taken aback when 17 teenage girls form a pregnancy pact. The movie is praised for showing how the girls had to mature through a very cinematic lens. While showing these stories not only have a rough beginning but also a rough ending. Ella Taylor of NPR explained the comparison of adult and child in the movie “The film's rhythms mimic the volatile emotional life of adolescence: the violent rushes between euphoria and despair, the overconfident contempt for adults mixed with regressive dependence when things fall apart.” This comparison comes up more than once as Noel Murray of A.V. Club who is less than a fan of this movie

The film version of Diary of a Teenage Girl, rather than condemning patriarchal privilege and its attendant exploitations as the book does, is instead a very careful take on a young 's girl 's exploration of her sexuality. The film and the book share the same premise but ultimately differ on delivery due to their inherently different approaches to capturing Minnie’s life as her and the other characters are portrayed differently, so much so that is a cautious take on an otherwise un-barred novel. Rather than touching upon patriarchal privilege and its exploitations, the film smooths over many of the more intense aspects in order to create a happy ending for itself, which is fundamentally different than what the book intended.
