Shouting Silent

I just watched this movie called Shouting Silent. It was about young girls who lost their mother, or parents to AIDS. It was really interesting, it focused on the stigma that many of them had, and why life was so hard for them when their mothers were gone. There was one girl whos step father started to rape her when her mother died, so she ran away and was living on her own, she didnt have a house, she just slept outside, and she only ate when people gave her food. There was another girl who was 17, and had to take care of her 7 brothers and sisters, and her own 4 year old son. First off that means that she had her son at 13, and she was taking care of all these children all by herself! it was amazing, 6 of the kids were going to school, off their grandmothers pention. but the second oldest daughter wasnt becasue there wasnt enough money. So she wondered around all day, and was sleeping around with her boyfriend who was in his twenties ( she was like 14)and her boyfriend had multiple other girlfriends. But becuase her mom had died when she was so young, she was never told about condoms, and her mom wasnt there to make sure she was doing everything right. And what made it even worse for her was that she knew she would never go anywher in life, because she could go to school and get educated. Its hard to hear their stories, and understand what it would be like to be in thier shoes.
