Social Issues: Teen relationships is a big issue because there are so many problems that correspond to teen relationships like teen abuse and trust issues. 33% of teens report some kind of abuse and 12 % report physical abuse during teen relationships. In the United States teen dating abuse is common in teen relationships. Teen dating abuse can be emotional, mental, sexual, physical, and mental abuse. Trust issues also in a way lead to abuse because it deals with being controlling, being jealous to a point where you force someone to do something and of course trusting someone. So, during teen relationships sometimes there is abuse and a lack of trust. http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/tc/domestic-violence-teen-relationship-abuse

Dramatization of //Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy//:
 * Cameron "Cammie" Ann Morgan**: Alyson Stoner because in a lot of movies she is the girl that is not seen and is pretty but no one notices her beauty. Cammie is a girl that is not seen but is pretty.
 * Rebecca "Bex" Baxter**: I would choose Emma Watson because she is british and is pretty like Bex is described in the book.
 * Elizabeth "Liz" Sutton**: I would choose Emma Roberts because she can protray a teen that is both smart and clumsy.
 * Macey McHenry**: Selena Gomez because she is similar to macey because she has a good fashion sense.
 * Zachary "Zach" Goode**: I would choose Logan Lerman because he can act as a teen.
 * Mr. Joseph "Joe" Solomon**: I would choose Kellan Lutz because he is a good actor and can be serious.
 * Rachel Morgan** (Cammie's mom and headmistress): I would choose Anne Hathaway because she is a good actress and fits the description of Rachel Morgan.
