Thirteen.

Vid Title: Lemon

Author: Aimee

Site: Aimee’s Sanctuary

Notes: Tracey’s life is turned upside down when she’s entranced by Evie Zamora, the most popular girl at her high school. Overcome by peer pressure, she turns to drugs and cutting just so that she can feel something. This video explores Tracey’s outlook on her life and how she feels there is no way out. The best (and only that I’ve found) Thirteen video out there.

pardon me, i just happened upon your webpage but i couldn’t help it : that’s not why she used drugs and cut– it was so she didn’t have to feel the negative feelings she was already feeling. teens usu. cut b/c the physical pain at least temporarily overcomes the emotional and mental pain. they usu. use drugs for the same reason. i haven’t known a lot of teens who had a hard time feeling SOMEthing, have you??

Hi, Stacy. Glad you stopped by with your comment. You are entirely correct about cutting, and to a large extent, teen-aged drug use. Fanvids are a way for people to put their own spin on a film or television show. Sometimes, vids are dramatic stories that use the source material, but in their own way. I think this is what Aimee has done beautifully with this vid.

Even though the problems faced in Thirteen may not be portrayed with exact parallels, fanvids tend to allow for the vidder’s vision to come through in an entirely different light–sometimes creating a whole new story, independent of the film.

Again, thanks for stopping by and I hope you try out some of the other great vids listed. :smile:
