Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 5864048" data-attributes="member: 9037">I think in some situations it makes sense to withhold information. In the movie Deep Impact they were trying to withhold information to stop a panic while they put a plan together.A populace in panic at the idea of the world ending in two years could make it very hard to maintain order.Other times I think it is done to because the people in power have a reason to keep it secret in Independence Day I think the reason they kept it a secret was so that the US didn't have to share any of its findings or developments with the rest of the world. The withholding from the people important to you drives me crazy. One of my issues with the The Secret Circle is how the main character who knows this is a family legacy and really has no reason to trust the other kids does not confide in her grandmother. The only things that makes me some what buy is that teens are stupid and don't trust adults.But take Grimm the situation between him and his live in girlfriend is just wrong on so many levels. She is an adult and should have a say in her own life. He is not protecting her by withholding this information. She should have a choice if she wants to stay and risk it or leave.One of the things that always makes me roll my eyes is the phone call. You know the one that goes hey I discovered something but I can't tell you over the phone so lets meet. We all know how that is going to end.</blockquote>
