Identity; Romance; Segregation; Beauty; Friendship; Within the film industry’s classic interpretation of female adolescents, these elements of teen culture are typically represented. A film’s demonstration of themes such as relationship tensions or social status struggles are that which attracts the popular viewership of female adolescents, for they are personally dealing with similar experiences. Furthermore, in continually representing the aforementioned traditional elements of teen culture, the film industry seems to make it so films’ story-lines and characterizations adapt to and directly reflect the era in which the film is set. This adaptation is significantly demonstrated in the popular teen films The Breakfast Club (1985), Clueless (1995), and Mean Girls (2004) as they each clearly and diversely characterize young women based on the distinct time period and the cultural attitude towards teen girls of that time. The Breakfast Club (1985) details five high school students in Illinois, a nerd, a jock, a bad boy, a weirdo, and a

Teens are rebellious troublemakers. It’s just something that’s in their blood. Each one shows it in a different way. There are many movies that show teens coming of age and going through this phase. “Rebel Without A Cause”,“American Graffiti”,  “Breaking Away”, and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” all show how teens are growing up.

Unfortunately, the media has a strong control over the appearance of adolescents. This appearance of adolescents are typically looked at in a negative view. As if the stress from the media is not enough, adolescents also face the obstacles of being stereotyped, the intense peer influence they face, and also the silent social system that is present among schools and everyday life. In the films, The Breakfast Club and Mean Girls these similar themes take place. These films allow the focused adolescents to triumph through hardships that are placed on them by the media, their peers, and their environments. These two films may have a few surface generational differences between them, however, the overall themes stay the same.

Growing up, kids usually have an idea of what they what to do when they become an adult. Large aspirations such as firemen, actors, and doctors are common in the hallways of an elementary school. The poems, Hard Work by Stephen Dunn, The Mill by Edwin Arlington Robinson, and Night Waitress by Lynda Hull share the common theme that work can dominate an existence. Problems occur when the children grow up and obtain dead end jobs that force the worker to do repetitive tasks, or if a worker finds happiness in a career the worker can end up being laid off. The broken record patterns in monotonous jobs leave workers with dreams for a better life, a desire to have variation, and the loss of hope.

Leila Ahmed was confronted with many impediments that have often paralyzed her ability to achieve self-actualization. She had to cross many national & geographical borders to get to her current destination in life. And, on the other hand, she also had to cross borders in other respects: transgressing lines drawn around her as a woman, a Muslim, an Egyptian, an Arab, and a person of color in order to find her true identity and diminish the sense of expatriation that engulfed her.

“It was predictable, it was good for the kids, and it was great to get back in the game, but the work was boring” (Brzezinski 13). Brzezinski, after only a one-year break from working, had to yet again climb her way to the top. While most of the time slots she was given to fill were menial, every once in a while she filled in as a substitute for more sought after roles. Until one day, there was a new opening at MSNBC for a three-hour time slot (Brzezinski 15).

Her dad told her a fiat to go do her chores if she wanted to go out.

It almost reminds me of the short film clips the health teachers back in high school would show. The cast definitely has the same type of style and demeanor and almost sends off some of the same messages in a sense. I don’t believe that much has changed from then and now other than social media being a big thing this time around. Growing up in 2003 when this movie was put out is pretty much the same now. As a young teenager you’re always going to be introduced to different things that the people around you are doing. In my opinion at the age of 13 the things you didn’t know before, you come more familiar with it through friends, experiences, or simply seeing others do things such as smoke, drink, party, break rules and rebel against

A movie that defines many of the issues adolescents are faced with is Rebel Without a Cause. For example, when Jim Stark repeatedly asks his father “what do you do when you have to be a man?” we see how Jim is dealing with Erikson’s stage of identity versus role confusion. Still only in high school, Jim is trying to figure out what stage in his life defines him as a man by his family and culture. He finds that although he may be gaining more privileges year by year, he is still under the control of his parents. There are also examples of risky behavior in this movie when Buzz challenges some thugs to a knife fight and when the teenagers engage in a game that involved jumping out of a car as late as possible before it goes over a cliff. Part of their logic behind doing this, as explained in the previous paragraph is because their brains were not yet fully developed and they felt as if they were indestructible. Lastly, there is also an example of peer pressure in the movie when Jim decides to engage in the knife fight after the thugs call him a “chicken”. Jim wanted to show his friends and others around him that he was not afraid to turn down a challenge and would do anything to beat these thugs, even if he secretly had some doubt in his mind. There are also other examples of peer pressure such as when the teenagers
