How Much Affection? (1957)

How far can young people go in petting and still stay within the bounds of personal standards and social mores?

It's interesting how niceness was an appreciated quality back then. He doesn't say "You're the prettiest, sexiest, hottest girl I've ever met, Mary", he says she's the nicest. I wish being nice were still admired.

[@TimothyAaronPotts]

Michelle Everett it is! I've got such strong feelings for a girl. She gives me the butterflies every time I see her. Not because she's the prettiest thing around (too me, she's flawless - but I can see how other guys wouldn't think so), but because she's one of the very few women who've treated me with a little bit of decenty. She doesn't seem to look down her nose at me. Now, I don't see her often - due to being a freight driver. That everytime she's on my route, I think of asking her out for a coffee... But then, as soon as I see her - I get them funny feelings, and totally chicken out. Sweet gal to talk with, but I hate myself for not having the guts to ask her out. I was born like 60 years too late, haha - somedays it'd be nice to have love like our grandparents did.

"Parking at the point," like they mention here, was sometimes just sitting together in their cars, visiting and talking. It was pretty common to sit in each others' cars and visit. If they had a drive-in restaurant, they'd visit there instead.

[@TheMewtata]

I think the portrayal of the young couple with the baby was accurate for the time. Based on the conversations I’ve had with my older relatives, getting pregnant in school really made you a social pariah. It’s honestly surprising they kept the baby. It was apparently common for the teenage girl to be “sent away” for pregnancy, so everyone could pretend it didn’t happen, and then someone else takes the baby. Though I’m sure that varied from place to place.

You can do it Melissa! I was raised as an only child in a family where it was absolutely taboo to talk about anything personal (sex, periods, bras, relationship intimacy, etc) like I remember the speech from my grandmother (my dad's mom) about how if you needed to pass gas you needed to excuse yourself to the restroom to do so. And she lived by this. Even with being married it was taboo to pass gas in front of the husband. So you can imagine how much you weren't allowed to talk about periods or sex!!!! 😳 I knew growing up I would always be open with my children. Now as a mother of all daughters we have an open discussion policy. I mean we do talk privately away from the younger kids but there is NO QUESTION they can't ask! We will answer any question honestly! Sometimes to the horror of our oldest teenager 😂 ohhhh well... She asks so she gets the truth 😄... Anyhow, I wanted them to be able to talk to us about anything. They still don't always tell you everything. I think that's just the nature of teenagers no matter how hard you try 🙄🤦‍♀️ and I hope my daughter's turn out to be even better parents than us, but you can be as good of a parent as you strive to be!

A lot of those McGraw/Hill and Young America social guidance films end in cliffhanger style. I think the idea is to generate classroom discussion and emphasize the point that, ultimately, we've all got to decide for ourselves how we'll deal with a situation. This is one of the better films, with fairly realistic dialogue. Times and sexual mores have changed, but teens face the same struggles with overwhelming emotions. And the conditions surrounding unplanned pregnancy aren't any better.

I have to say, I was surprised by the willingness of the mother to have what was then a pretty open conversation about sex. I mean nowadays we would emphasize more about things like protection, but so many of the people I've talked to that grew up in this time talk about how nieve they were about anything involving sex. It seems it was pretty common for mothers at that time to not bring up sex at all, just wasn't a proper subject. Some of this might be because of being raised in the south. Not sure, either way, I just liked that they displayed that relationship where the daughter felt comfortable talking about her ",urges" and the mother letting her know they were normal. This was a pretty big step in the right direction to openness and honesty.

This hits so close to home right now. I’m 18 and just finished my first year of college. I find that the hardest challenge was not really in my coursework but learning how to manage relationships and emotions. There’s so much risk associated with acting on just emotion and using your right judgement is honestly a very hard thing. I had complicated questions about dating and friendship and I’m constantly trying to make sure that I make the right choices and hang around the right people. I’ve pretty much just had to accept that at my age, these struggles are to be expected but it’s so hard sometimes. I wish there were more things like this but for teens now! It feels so lonely trying to figure out all these things just to find out that everyone struggles with this at some point. I called my mom one day at school and I told her “ I hate being so young right now” and I wished that I could just skip this stage of not knowing. She laughed and said that it’s just part of life figuring out these things. I’m so grateful for this video right now because it addresses this kind of uncertainty very well!

@@td3993 The movie portrays what the adults making the movie thought that teenagers should be like. In reality, most of them were rocking out to the Rhythm and Blues. Pretty much, the only kids who would have been as prudish and proper as Mary and Jeff would have been religious. And those people would have been twisted up and conflicted about their sexuality- hardly as "mature" and psychologically balanced as the two portrayed here. I was a teenager about ten years after this, in the sixties, but I observed the period portrayed in this movie as a child. And the sexual mores in the movie were still very much a pressure in my young years. From our point of view now, Mary's mother should have said, "Oh honey, don't you dare f**k Jeff until we get you set up with some birth control!" LOL. However, I do have to say that the suppression of one's urges in those days, and the demand for greater commitment, led to a greater degree of emotional intensity in sexual relationships than what might be common now. There was a lot in this movie that touched me with a sort of tender nostalgia, and a longing for things past. But I'm an old man now, and I'll never know those soft beautiful lips again.
