Quinceañera is a movie about a 15 year old chicana named Magdalena who is having a quinceañera but,she faces many problems along the way. Magdalena's cousin Maria just had her quinceañera and it was what Magdalena dreamed of, stretch hummer limo, great music, lots of friends, and a gorgeous dress. However, her Quinceañera won't be as big as Maria's because her family isn't as wealthy as her aunt and uncle. She finds out that she won't be having a stretch hummer limo or a great party, but worst of all she won't be wearing a dress of her own instead her dad decided to ask Maria if she could lend her dress to magdalena. So then she goes to her aunt's house to try on her cousins dress but since she's a little bugger than her cousin they have to make the dress a little bigger. Magdalena's dad is the preacher at church so his expectations for his daughter are very high, but she has a boyfriend named Herman which her parents aren't aware of. To make matters worse she later finds out that she is pregnant! But she doesn't understand how because she swears she's a virgin. Magdalena has a pretty close relationship with her boyfriend and he seems to be comforting and understandable, even when he finds out that she's pregnant. However, when he suddenly stopped calling she decides to go look for at his house, but when his mother opens the door she informs her that Herman has left the state. Worse of all Herman's mom tells Magdalena to leave Herman alone and to stop perverting him and she doesn't believe that the baby she's having is Herman's.
When Magdalena tells her dad that she is pregnant he gets furious and she decides to run away to her great uncles house. There she finds support from her uncle and cousin who is also staying at her uncles house. Later on she finds out her uncle is gay and soon after that her uncle dies. Thankfully her cousin tells her that he'll take responsibility for her baby. At the end her father forgives her because she lets him know that she didn't have sex, what happened was that some of Herman's sperm landed near her and got her pregnant. Magdalena has a quinceañera even though she is pregnant and "lives happily ever after."
This movie relates to my topic because it shows all the problems a pregnant teen can face.

Hey great choice of movie. I think it is perfect for you topic... I saw it over the summer and I think its crazy how over night a child was given the responsibility of raising a child. When she herself was a child...
