The Teen Perspective

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2014)

One thing every teen struggles to find is them self. This movie is in the heart of every lost teenage soul, who's just trying to fit in with the others, refusing to conform to the social norms, being relentlessly judged by adults (as if they were never teens once in their lives), having a hard time making their parents understand them, and just trying to figure out what it is they want. The Breakfast Club shows that all teens may have different personalities, sense of style, friends,interests and hobbies, but in the end, we stand by one another, facing the same hard realities of our everyday lives. We fight with our parents, study hard enough to pass in school, do things with our friends to be accepted by others, and many more. Being a teenager is not as easy as an adult would think. Because we are young, we tend to do things that sound good at the moment, and sure enough regret doing it later. We have big hearts with empty spaces that need to be filled, so we try to find a guy or a girl to help fill that empty space for us, later on inevitably getting our hearts broken, but never irreparably damaged. The adults loathe us because they can never be this young again. This movie shows how 5 diverse teenage people, each unique in their own way, can relate to one another in terms of family problems, school situations, maintaining your social status and finding yourself. Praise for this incredible movie. My perspective on life has changed after watching this remarkable film, and I am very sure that so will yours.
