Why Teen Films?
Well, this is a very good question to ask myself. I love a good teen tv show or film, but when watching it, there were all these moments that just didn't seem to add up, experiences that never happened to me. Watching the teens in the films made me feel self-conscious, as if I weren't a normal teen. As I grew up, I very quickly realised that the representation given isn't always correct, so I am here to tell you what I think about a few films and add some recommendations into the mix. Although the representation is not as good as it could be, these films are entertaining and should be enjoyed.
Interesting fact: teen films/tv shows are the only genre that focuses on a specific age group!
