Sex and relationships are recurring themes throughout the genre and are essential elements teen narrative. Their portrayal ranges from comic interactions to serious exchanges and emotional liberation from restrictive forces. Timothy Shary explains the significance of these two thematic threads: “Romantic longing and sexual curiosity take on heightened intensity and profundity for youth in the adolescent years struggle to recognise and cope with the emotional and psychological changes”(2002).

The relationship between the girlfriend and the boyfriend is also one that every woman can relate to. Even though not every relationship goes as far as plastic surgery, there are still smaller scale standards of beauty that women are prone to submitting to due to the ideals of their significant other. Some examples would be the types of clothes to
