It's about a teen African American girl molested and abused by her family. She isn't treated like a daughter by her mother where she is always screamed at and thrown objects at even while doing household chores. She is also molested by her mother's boy friend and the mom doesn't care at all. Because of the sexual abuse, she got pregnant twice. She's doing bad at school and has no friends at all.
You can really understand how a young girl can lose herself with this kind of situation. But in this movie you can see how the girl struggles to survive in such an environment. She daydreams about her dream world where her mother loves her and the people around her notices her and she's so happy.
She met people who helped her in the story such as the teacher, male nurse, and a social welfare employee (Mariah Carey).
Overall it teaches you how to fight for your rights. Not to let anyone step on you, not even your family. All of us can think. We know what is right from wrong. We should not tolerate abuse nor harassment especially to us women.
P.S. The movie won Oscars for best supporting actress for Mo' Nique as the mother of Precious and best adapted Screen Play.
