The present research has identified that yet, of the parents, it is Carl who does the most harm to Precious. both physically and mentally. Physically, he sexually abuses Precious. As such, the viewer is made aware of the fact that this abuse has been ongoing for a period of more than 15 years. starting when Precious was only 3 years of age. Due to being continually raped by her father, Precious gives birth to two children. one girl and one boy. The girl has Down syndrome and is cared for by Precious’s grandmother. The boy, however, lives with the family. at least until the point that Precious is willing and able to take a stand against her family. While her father abuses Precious in such a blatant and cruel way, Precious’ mother does little to protect her child. She turns her eye the other way while Precious continuously becomes a victim of her father’s sick desires. Moreover, her mother does not support her child but rather abuses her both physically and emotionally. A real change starts occurring in Precious when she starts attending an alternative school in light of her impending pregnancy. It is there that she meets with her new teacher, Blu Rain who encourages her to spend more time in reading and writing. This plants the seed in Precious of a love for education that continues to give her confidence. Later on, she finds more caring and understanding characters in the shape of her social worker, Ms. Weiss and nursing assistant, John McFadden. This allows Precious to improve upon herself and gives her confidence in her abilities and her personality. Since Precious goes through such a gruesomely difficult childhood, she pays little or no attention to her appearance. She is portrayed as an obese teenager who does not care about her weight. Precious also puts little attention to what she looks her and it is only in her imaginary life that she dresses beautifully. She has no confidence in her appearance and is even guilty about her femininity given the treatment at the hands of her father. Even though Precious is continuously abused by both her biological parents, she does not develop a rebellious streak. She complies with the orders of her parents even though she has to go through the process of giving birth to two children that are the result of rape and incest. It is only during the end of the film and through the support of her teacher, Ms. Rain and a social worker, Ms. Weiss that she gains the confidence of supporting herself and her child. While Precious does not outwardly rebel against her parents, her rebellion takes the form of anger and frustration. This is the reason that Precious finds it difficult to make friends. She has no friends in her class and does not confide in anything.
