I think in the movie Bellyfruit, all the girls get pregnant. The most responsible one was Tina. She could take care of her baby. Arecely doesn’t care, she still wants to party, smoke and drink. Shanika has nobody there for her and everything is more harder on her than the other girls. All the girls are stupid for getting pregnant. They just threw their lives away by having a baby. Arecely doesn’t even know whos her baby’s father and also doesn’t know how to take of her own baby. Tina can at least take care of her own baby and her baby’s father is there too. All these girls didn’t make very smart choices in their life.

3. A boy that stole his mom’s coin and sold it to get weed. Then he goes to a lingerie store and shoplifted again.
4. Will steal again from his mom?
Will he ever stop smoking weed?
5. “When I got busted for shoplifting it was in this fancy lingerie store called Victoria’s Secret and i was already out the store with a silky green nightgown stashed in my jacket pocket.”
I choose this because you can see that instead of just buying the nightgown he had to steal it. He could just buy thenightgown and nothing wouldn’t happen to buy and the security wouldn’t have to call his mom and stepdad. I think he embrassed his mom and stepdad.
