I would say no for the same reasons. I did not like the language and the parents were just a little to free with her.

I watched it and thought it was good movie and its very realstic...because things like that actually do happen and alot teens can learn from this. It would be a good movie to discuss with your teenagers

I'm an older teen who loved this movie! That being said, I saw it as a legal adult, and certain scenes (aka the sex-ed class) made me squirm.
If you have older teens who go to public school, chances are they see pregnant teenagers every day, hear a lot of bad language, and in general will not be surprised at anything in this movie.
I would also like to say that teenagers don't really talk the way they do in the movie..in my experience, anyway.

This a great movie. This is the perfect movie for teens. If more teens saw this they would think twice about having sex, huh lol. There's very little swearing and there are no nude scenes. At first I thought this movie was going to be lame and boring but it turned out to be really good. I loved everything about this movie, the music, actors, plot, beautiful lol. May add the girl who played Juno was terrific. She's a great actor, her future is bright. But anywho I recommend this movie to teens, Christians, and all. I give it a 4 out of 5.

I haven't watched the film because I simply wasn't interested in it. However, from the reviews I've read and the previews I've seen, I wouldn't tell an older teen to avoid it, but rather to see it and discuss it. I don't buy the movies corrupt theory.

ORIGINAL: Homegrownkids
I am going to stick out like a sore thumb, but I would not let young teens see this. My 13 yr DD would not benefit from this movie. If my children were present at the time my Dh and I viewed it, it would of been off immediately. I think there are better ways to teach about sex, teen pregnancy..etc... then a movie that "entertains" our young people. There was way too many things in the movie that was innapropriate, in my opinion,... for my kids.
The only thing that I thought was good is that the baby was not aborted and the parents did help her through the whole thing. I thought the movie was way too liberal. I probably wouldn't want my children watching this until they were 17. Condoms on Bananas... F-words...the way the kids talked...the independant "teen world".... Handing the baby off to a single parent (very touching, but come on... we all know 2 parent homes are better)... very liberal.
I saw the movie and I agree with this assesment.
Interesting movie, but I wouldn't be comfortable labeling it "good for teens."
Yes, the movie is entertaining and it raises interesting moral issues. BUT, that doesn't automatically make it the best conduit for discussing those issues with teens.
