They can be huge differences, or small ones. Either way, they still have similarities and differ in their own ways. In the story, written by William Shakespeare, “Romeo and Juliet”, the two teenagers Romeo and Juliet had fallen crazy in love with each other. They had decided to get married and run away together due to all the ruckus being caused between their families due to one side not liking the Montagues and the other not liking the Capulets.

Teen Rebellion is a common theme throughout movies, literature, and song lyrics. Teen rebellion is a normal action through teen years. Teen rebellion is caused by wanting to prove a point and a craving for freedom. During teenage years you always want prove a point weather to an authority figure or even to yourself. Also teens are growing into adults and tend to grave freedom. In Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” both Romeo and Juliet rebel against their families. The two families of Romeo and Juliet are the most bitter enemies and only care for murdering the other family. Romeo of the Montagues and Juliet of the Capulets are now falling in love with each other but know that the war being families will be a complication to their love. Romeo
In this scene of the play, Juliet is met with the internal struggle of whether or not she will drink the vial Friar Laurence has given her as part of the plan. In the song the lyrics introduce with how “Some people watch, some people pray” “some people hope, some people pray.” I believe this is Juliet's internal conflict on how she is praying for a miracle for people to watch. The next line that the play reflects is where it says “Cause even heroes get the blues or any misery you choose we like to use and we were born to lose”. The plays reflects on how Juliet who is a main character or well Heroine of the story but despite that she stills feels sad and the misery she chooses is to fake
Teen rebellion is contrasted to “Romeo and Juliet”, and through centuries of movies, books, songs, and along with poems because people relate to going against rules at some point in their life to do something they said they were not supposed (Shakespeare). Teen rebellion makes songs, poetry, books, and movies more desirable by giving it a more unique, and interesting look at different point of views which some to most people could relate to in some way. Most movies, and songs can give some representation of teenage rebellion, and therefore it could be rebelling against the rules, against one’s parents, or even the law. For example, in the movie “The Outsiders” the main characters Ponyboy and Johnny, who are Greasers, get into a brawl with the Social member resulting in a death which causes a series of events leading to a rebellious plan to leave town and go on the run from the law which will show the consequences of one’s actions (Coppola). Another example of teenage rebellion is in the movie “Clueless” where Cher,
When Juliet finds out that Tybalt has been killed and Romeo is in exile, for killing Tybalt, Juliet feels both passionate about Romeo and disappointed in both Romeo and herself, which reveal her inner struggle. In Act 3, Juliet’s Nurse comes back with this news that Tybalt is dead and that Romeo is such an awful person for killing him. Juliet fights back at the Nurse, and herself, for speaking bad about Romeo. She claims, ““Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, When I, thy three hours' wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have killed my husband.” (3.2.99-101). This shows that Juliet is passionate about Romeo, because first of all, she says that she was wrong to say bad things about her husband.
William Shakespeare’s famous and tragic play, Romeo and Juliet, is about two young lovers who die calamitously in an attempt to resolve their family rivalry. Juliet’s struggle between emotion and logic is clearly evident from the beginning to the end of the play. Juliet’s biggest internal conflicts occur in the infamous balcony scene, when she refuses to wed Paris, and lastly, when she takes the potion. In the balcony scene, Juliet is disheartened when she realises that she is a Capulet and her lover, Romeo, is a Montague.
Many teenagers make bad decisions, and act in a way most adult would say is unintelligent. Romeo and Juliet was a story about two feuding families with the same wealth living in Verona.

“Young men’s love lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” -William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare's words can relate to the story of Romeo and Juliet by the usage of saying that some men observe women by their beauty, the way they appeal to them and don’t recognize them by who they are and by personalities. They don't truly love for the right intentions, but walk in shame for not expressing the way they feel ,but chase after their first intentions through the eyes and not the heart when it comes to a girl.
A common theme throughout “Bee Movie” and “Romeo and Juliet” is teenage rebellion. In both movies the main characters run away to be with someone they like and love. In my opinion, most teenagers rebel for their rights. The reason is because parents don’t understand why their kids rebel. In the “Bee Movie” Barry B. Benson gets freed by a human named Vanessa and he falls in love with her(Smith).
The Breakfast Club Today, many teenagers are portrayed as misunderstood by adults. However, the truth is, teenagers are not misunderstood at all. One of the first films that portrays the truth behind teenagers distant and deceiving behavior is The Breakfast Club. This film shows that all teenagers are not misunderstood, but are looked down upon by adults and authority figures. The film touches base on almost every stereotypical teenager; the athlete, the princess, the criminal, the brain and the basketcase.

The star-crossed lovers were indeed, in the modern sense, rebellious. Both, especially Juliet, frequently disobeyed their parent’s will. Both ignored a potentially centuries-long feud for their young love. One of them killed two people. In ultimatum, any 15-year old who wants to get a nose piercing can look to them as inspiration.
Each teenager comes from a different style of parenting, clique and with their own unique set of pressures. The movie The Breakfast Club portrays that peer pressure, stereotypes and parents attitudes shape the way kids act. The Breakfast Club should be considered a timeless classic as it is still relevant today. Teenagers are always looking
Even though they have made many immature mistakes (like marrying only after knowing each other less than twenty-four hours), Romeo and Juliet have matured throughout the play because they have both put each other before themselves, they both have been more aware and considerate of other people instead of being vain and inconsiderate, and they both have tried to control their own fates instead of letting fate control them.
