Jenny eventually poses for a picture in Playboy. She begins playing guitar in the nude as "Bobbie Dylan" at a strip club. Forrest (who has graduated and joined the army by this point) visits her and witnesses some men "tryin' to grab" her while playing a cover of "Blowin' in the Wind" by Bob Dylan. He beats them up, but Jenny is fired as a result. Jenny is angry at first but becomes depressed, reflecting on her life, even contemplating suicide.

While Forrest is in Vietnam, Jenny becomes a hippie and travels the country with friends. She eventually starts dating Wesley, the president of the SDS chapter at Berkeley. She and Forrest are reunited at an anti-Vietnam rally. Forrest protects her once again when he beats up Wesley after he sees him hit her during an argument. The two stay up all night while Jenny tells Forrest of her travels. Before they go their separate ways again, Forrest gives Jenny the Medal of Honor he earned in Vietnam.

While Forrest concludes his service in the army and goes into the shrimping business (naming his boat after Jenny), Jenny's life takes a dark turn into a life of drugs and (possibly) [COLOR=Red]prostitution. She reaches her lowest point when she nearly jumps from an apartment balcony in a drug-induced haze.

Eventually she returns to Alabama to stay with Forrest. One night Forrest asks her to marry him but she declines, telling him she's not someone he wants to marry. Forrest is hurt, believing she doesn't love him. That night, however, she climbs into his bed, telling him she does love him. They make love and in the morning she leaves.

At some point, Jenny learns she is suffering from an unknown virus (apparently AIDS from her earlier sex and drug use) and sends a letter to Forrest to come see her. Forrest invites her and Forrest Jr. to come stay with him. She and Forrest get married soon after. They spend a few happy months together as a family before she finally dies
