I love this movie! I think the message in the end is a great one that kids - and I'm not excluding myself when I say this - really need to take to heart. This shows that not everyone has a path in life paved in gold. It's a tear jerker! It breaks my heart that this really happened. A true story like that makes a good movie, but it's truly tragic. I feel bad for all the people who were portrayed in that movie. I feel bad for the main character - of course, the people who died, who suffered, even for the man who abandoned her and got hit by that train. Tragic - but an amazing movie for the whole family.
