H and I watched it, we couldn't believe how dumb some of these girls were.
The part that really got to me was when the girl said she got $100 extra for doing a cream pie and then said that 'plan B is only $40, so it's all good' or whatever she said. Seriously??

I remember being that age and having terrible self esteem. But the way these girls express it. Oh I just want to hug them and tell them they're smart and worthy of love. The one girl who was like, "Those guys who say I'm beautiful and they want to fuck me. That feels good." WHAT.
And the $100 for Plan B thing blew my fucking mind. Girl, do you understand that it doesn't always work? Do you understand that you let some stranger put his penis and potential diseases into your body? That's worth an extra $60?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I thought Stella May was going to end up pregnant. When she went home and told her mom that the guys pull out to prevent pregnancy...I thought that was foreshadowing.
The many issues at play here aside, WHY for the love of God are these women not on the pill? It's FREE! Then they could keep the whole $100!
i was thinking the same thing.
And when the mother was asking how she was protecting herself she said that she gets tested every two weeks and they don't go in her. I yelled at my TV, YOU CAN STILL GET PREGANT AND DISEASED.
So much of this documentary was disturbing. The part when the girl had to have sex with the older man was awful. She was so afraid, scared and nervous. I wish someone would have said something, like STOP! But that disgusting man still had sex with her. I feel like that was just flat out rape.
I just watched it last night. I was so disturbed by the facial abuse. I mean, I know there is literally a genre of porn for everything I can think of, but, it was still shocking to me.

yes! this part was so sad, especially because he really barely complimented her. he kept telling her how weird she looked with her expressions. i just wanted to hug her and get her out of there.
the guy who recruited them (riley?) is vile. absolutely disgusting.
I just...I had really low self esteem (and I quite possibly still do), but I cannot imagine feeling this horrible about myself. And I wish their parents realized that they are probably clinically depressed, and could use some serious therapy. My heart goes out to each one of them.

I think it is kind of unfair to put this on the parents. I'm guessing that at least for some of them, their parents have tried to help, but aren't getting anywhere because the kids don't want help. You can't force adults into therapy, KWIM? They can offer, they can encourage, etc, but you can't force. And even if you could, unless the person wants the help, it doesn't really do any good.
I watched this last night. It was horrifying. DH and I were both shocked and flabbergasted. DH was mostly pissed off at the men since it was so obvious that they were probably benefitting financially from the arrangement 500% more than the girls. He figures the guy who runs the 'house' probably charges them crazy rent (or is their drug dealer).
This was a minor item compared to so much else that happened, but it really pissed me off when that one girl was asked to go and buy clothes for the shoot. So she's getting $500 - $800 but she has to go get clothes on short notice that are going to cost an additional $100? Ugh.

Sorry if that was unclear, but I am certainly not blaming their parents. I just wish their parents recognized that this is a bigger issue then teenagers being teenagers, in the same way that I wish those girls knew that this is not the way that they have to feel.
