Comments About “It’s Not Just Jenna“

Read what youth are saying about “It’s Not Just Jenna”.

I liked that it’s a personal story rather than just a documentary so it gives perspective to a real life situation, how to prevent it, and the warning signs.

This video showed me… if I think something is wrong to ask and if there is something wrong with me I can tell people.

It was very open and showed you the real story and how it all started.

A lot of it I can understand her point. I went through that too for 13 years. I was 5 years old when it started until I was 7 years old. I understand her.

How Jenna was able to speak about it, I would imagine it must be hard to talk about.

I liked that the story was so real and that it showed the perspectives of not only the victim but also the people around her. It transitioned well, showing her childhood to her recovery.

Usually they make up a story, but the fact is it was true and she was brave enough to tell her story.

I liked that it didn’t try to hide the parts that are uncomfortable to see.

It showed the emotional impact sexual abuse has on families. Seeing the father’s emotion made the impact of the matter more serious.

I liked that Jenna showed that she could live through that terrible part of her life and she wants to help others.
