[@SaintDiaz]

I was thinking the same thing tbh. When i first saw this movie as a kid i legit thought she was graduation highschool it blew my mind when i found out it was middle school

[@someothername7886]

@@duskcrumbz7375 The reason why the ages are off, or why young adults tend to be casted to play high schoolers/middle schoolers is usually because child actors have unions behind them to prevent the actors from being overworked. Child actors are legally only allowed to work a certain amount of hours a day and, along with that, a significant amount of time on set has to be put towards their education. Because of these restrictions, producers would rather cast young adults that could pass as high school and (sometimes) middle school kids. But yeah, as op said the ages just look way off even if the actors themselves look young. I think Hilary Duff was around 16/17 when this movie actually came out.

[@arcyarcanine]

Has anyone had a middle school graduation like that? I never did, seems they tried to make it look like a high school graduation on purpose. I always found it odd that middle school graduation was such a big deal in the show...

[@cai3886]

As a newly 18yr, senior in high school, the thought of dating a 14yr is just...so nasty. They are on a totally different level of maturity and understanding. I don’t care how “mature for my age” you think you are, you’re not. This is why so many past victims of grooming only realize when they’re older and have that older perception, that they were taken advantage of.

[@purplelamp273]

When I was a kid, I always justified the age difference because Lizzie was 14 in the movie and I thought as an 8 y/o that a freshman and junior aren't that far apart. Now that I'm out of high school, there is a huge difference. But looking back, Paolo is supposed to be a shitty guy anyway... Like I think one could make the argument that this movie shows you shouldn't trust older people as a kid (although it's hard to do that when she gets to sing in the colosseum).

[@WastePlace]

Even after high school age difference and maturity are heavily linked. Like compare a 22 yr old college student to a 27 yr old college graduate, major difference there too. Only stops being a factor around mid thirties imo

[@hauntedonigiri]

My ex boyfriend, who was a grade above me at the time (we've both graduated since), dated a freshman in his junior year and I always feel so disgusted by it looking back. No one else thought it was weird at the time, but that's because most of us were dumb freshman/sophmores that didn't see the problem. Edit: I'm so dumb with math Just remembered he graduated when I left the school, so he would've been a senior dating freshman

@@hauntedonigiri 2 years isn’t much of a difference though. I hate to be that guy but in many cases “age is just a number” applies to a reasonable extent.

I actually see this as a cautionary tale. They could have made Paolo a romantic good guy in the end, making it look like it's a good idea to go off on an adventure with a guy you've just met. Instead, they showed that it's not a good idea and that people aren't always what they seem.

[@remulaevergaze5342]

And the best way to do that is to make it look romantic for the majority of the movie? It's not like Lizzie came out in the end saying how she learned a lesson about dating older guys, it's still portrayed as acceptable for a 13 year old girl to date a 17 year old, as long as he's not a douche, so much for being a cautionary tale.

[@pissapocalypse]

Yeah but the movie didn't discourage the relationship, only the fact that he was lying about his voice. It could have been a teaching moment for kids to be careful of older people trying to take advantage of them, but they didn't do that.

[@mksabourinable]

Also it still worked out for her in the end, like ffs she got to sing to an international audience who loved her for crying out loud

[@ArturGlass.C]

Okay but actually this is genuinely creepy. I watched this movie as a kid and didn't find it weird in any way. I was also groomed later by random 20 year olds as a teen. Obviously it's not this movie's fault but like....stop portraying grooming as romantic kid's movie.....please ?! It's an actual issue.

[@bigboomer1013]

I feel that the reason why we didn't get bothered was because they don't look like they are 13. And when they said junior high (notice the word "high"), I would of thought that's another word for high school. I didn't know that junior high stands for middle school. If lizzie was much younger looking like an actual 13 year old and stood next to Paolo, then you will probably see something is wrong. Like aqua marine. The girls are little kids and their crush is probably a college student and they got kissed by him, I was annoyed as a kid. I just wish they didn't make it be that lizzie is 13 or even heard that she is one. Because now I see the movie in a completely different light and my childhood is ruind. The only way to escape it is to just imagine her or pretend that she's graduating high school.

My son flies from his dad’s in California to me in Georgia every year. 2 flights a year since he was 5 and this year was the first time he didn’t fly alone, because of coronavirus. They assign the kid a flight attendant that stays with them at the airport and they generally don’t do layovers unless they are older. My friend’s daughter flew alone and had a layover in Atlanta but she was 15. The airport is probably one of the safer places in the world for a kid, to be honest. They’re escorted all the way to the adult that is picking them up, they sit near the flight attendant and they’re on camera the entire time they’re in the airport.

i had a lot of experience flying as an UM when i was younger, and i was only ever allowed on straightaway flights --single flight to a destination with no layovers--and parents/guardians get special permission to escort the UM thru security and to and from the actual airline gate without having a ticket of their own. so extremely unlikely to see an UM on an international flight, especially if unescorted to the airport by an adult.

[@ncisfan1002]

Person that's flown unaccompanied internationally before, and I'll state that yeah, you need permission from both parents to go unaccompanied. The parents need to sign a waiver I believe and the flight attendants check up on you from time to time during the flight. I had a connecting flight so I had to wait for another attendant to lead me to the next gate. Waited for the next flight, same process, and then when you get to your destination they stop being in charge of you. After you cross the "why are you in the country" part of it you're on your own to get picked up by a guardian

[@FionaLiu]

@@ncisfan1002 Yeah, I've done the same thing, and you're right. Sometimes if children break rules during school trips, the teacher is allowed to send them home.

The disturbing part of this movie that the little brother was producing child pornography then, based on your observation. About the trip: Idk, going out of your continent sounds a bit excessive, but we had foreign schooltrips within EU when I was 14. Like 50 kids with 2 teachers. The unusual part was that the foreign trips were across the classes, I mean all classes from ages 13-18. Then 18-year-olds lawyered out that they don't have to obey the teachers, technically, so imagine... I also went to a Paris first time with just girlfriends around 16 maybe, then Taken came out and my parents freaked out, retrospectively

I have watched this movie so many times lol. The show is based off of middle school so most people would know her age. This was supposed to be the season finale for middle school and then have a second series with them all in high school.
