Thirteen

Audio problem: During the girls' follow-up discussion after Tracy has sex with Ravi, Evie laughs and says, "What? We didn't go over that one." However, her lips aren't moving when she speaks the second sentence; the second part was obviously dubbed in later.

Catwalk

Continuity mistake: When Evie and Tracy go to the park, they walk down a stretch of grass, after Evie makes a drug sale. She stops two guys to make another sale. As she stops them, there is a boy with a helmet and skateboard running behind them. The shot then cuts to a close-up and suddenly the boy is standing next to the two guys. Then the shot cuts again, and the boy is running behind them again. (00:20:35)

Question: I wanted to clarify the question I submitted about why Tracy starts starving herself. I know that many girls starve for different reasons, but I thought she was being influenced by Evie and wanted to copy her. Why did she starve herself if Evie wasn't? Evie normally ate the food that Tracy's mom cooked.

Answer: I think what started it was her tongue piercing. She didn't want to eat cause it would hurt and her mom would notice.

I think it's a combination of the tongue piercing and Tracy's new rebellious attitude. She wants to be "difficult" by refusing to eat what her mom cooks. Evie, meanwhile, is trying to impress Tracy's family, because she wants to live there for as long as possible. So she eats whatever food Tracy's mom cooks.

Drugs will affect your appetite.

Answer: Tracy is more than likely just trying to look as skinny as Evie, even though Tracy is clearly thinner than she is. Also, it could be a result from drugs or angst.
