so she was actually 13 years old when she did Thirteen


Ok this just hit me, she was pretty good in Thirteen, but that language, sexual content is a bit too much for a 13 year old and it's kind of hard to believe that Nikki wrote the movie? at that young age... that's kind of impressive.. i liked the movie and all, but i actually she would have been atleast 16 years old!!

Anyways, i want to know what you guys think?

She's a very intelligent woman, and she did write it WITH Catherine Hardwick.

I think she was older, she was fourteen.

The fact that the language and sexual content is a bit too much for a 13 year old is practically the point of the movie.

I might be wrong but I do believe that the character Tracy is based on Nikki Reeds real life.

she was 15.

The movie character is based on Nikki's own story. She left home by 14 because of problems so, whether you like it or believe it of a 13 year old, it's real. Those are her words . . .

but that's a diary, that's not a fully realized screenplay. i find it almost impossible that a 13 years old could write a screenplay.

that's what i thought. i thought she was too young to write a screenplay. 13 really? i mean when i was 13 i at the most was writing short little fantasy stories which were really childish. i wasn't writing 100 page, professional movie scripts. you think she was too young to play such an adult role? why is 13 too young to play that role when 13 year olds like the one in this movie are doing these adult things?
