Editor's Notes
There's very little angst that Juno experiences over carrying the baby and giving it up - the character is almost disconnected from the many deep-seated emotions that pregnant teens feel. Is that deliberate - or naive? The narrative implies that carrying a pregnancy to term and relinquishing the baby - giving it up for adoption - is nothing. But we know that it isn't so for a pregnant woman. That's totally unrealistic. Knocked Up-positive points-sex w/out condoms results in pregnancy, and with alcohol involved wearing a condom in less likely. Negative points-endings are not always this way. In most teen relationships the father is not involved.
