The transition from childhood to adulthood in itself is a dangerous and unpredictable period in the life of any teenager. With someone, he goes quietly, but someone can change beyond recognition, having, for example, turned from a quiet man into a bully and a rebel. In general, an interesting little time, especially for the film industry. Therefore, a list of films about teenagers and school is not difficult to make. Fortunately, there is plenty to choose from.
"The Maze Runner"
That seems to be a normal elevator. He has no complaints against adults, but he does not like teenagers. And as soon as they get into it, the elevator immediately sends them to Glade, a strange place surrounded by a maze. We are talking about the film "The Maze Runner", based on the novel of the same name by James Deshner. With it will begin today's list of films about teenagers.
One day a guy named Thomas gets into Glade. Having got out of the elevator, he meets several dozens of his peers who, except for the name, do not remember anything else about themselves. Right from the door, they inform him that they have lived in Glade for a long time, since it is impossible to get out of here.
Although not immediately, but Thomas takes root in the team and every day, when the gates of the maze open, he begins to make sorties there, in search of a way out. But all attempts are futile, because the design is constantly changing, and in the corridors themselves it is unsafe - terrible monsters roam there. And then hope reappears when the elevator brings another passenger - a girl who somehow recalls Thomas.
"Drug"
The list of films about teenagers would not be complete without at least one picture on the topic of harmful substances. That is why the American comedy “Drug” turned out to be here, which tells the story of a teenager living in the not-so-prosperous area of ​​the city of Inglewood, located in the state of California.
Malcolm has a cherished dream - to study at Harvard, and he is close enough to his goal, because his assessments allow you to try to go there. But one unpleasant situation can forever deprive a guy of this opportunity.
Somehow, after one of the parties, he finds packages of drugs in his backpack, which is why Malcolm's life turns into one big problem. Drug owners quickly figure out where their goods are. Only the guy is not going to part with him. He has his own plans in this regard, and only 24 hours to implement his plan.
"Excellent student of easy virtue"
It is unlikely that Olive dreamed of becoming so famous when she lied to her friend that she had lost her virginity. After all, she goes to school, where simply pronouncing the word “innocence” is a gross violation. But she said, and, naturally, the conversation was overheard by ill-wishers. Literally in one day, the girl’s reputation fell so much that they began to avoid her, and mocked when they met.

"Chick"
Continuing the list of films about teenagers, it is worth stopping at this fantasy comedy directed by Tom Brady. And though you can’t name the story about the exchange of bodies new, this picture turned out to be very interesting. Moreover, she is about teenagers and about school.
He is a thirty-year-old serial robber, far from a respectable appearance. She is a narcissistic and arrogant blonde, studying at a prestigious school for girls. Nothing could bind them, if not for one case.
Right on the eve of the graduation party, the girl wakes up in the body of that burglar. And he, of course, is in her nightie. And if he immediately realizes what benefit the reincarnation can bring to him, then the teenage girl does not yet know what to do. By connecting her best friend, she begins to figure out how this could happen. But, despite the complexity of the situation, the reason was simple, and when she finds out, Jessica will again become a blonde.
"Remember me"
It would be wrong to include only comedy and science fiction in this list of films. Foreign directors also shot enough pictures about teenagers' love. And here is one of them.
The dramatic film Remember Me tells the story of a teenager who lives a joyless, frustrating life. True, he can be understood - he recently lost his brother, and his family is not at all interested in what is happening with their child. His closest people are a little sister and friend Aidan.
But once, having interceded for the girls, he takes part in a street fight, after which he is detained. In the area they are roughly treated, but quickly released on bail. Wanting to take revenge on the investigator, Tyler begins to meet with his daughter, whom she studies at the same school. Only after some time, the guy realizes that their relationship began to turn into something more than just a game. And everything would be fine if it were not for the father, who can easily destroy their fragile happiness.
"Rebel"
And again, the youth comedy replenishes the list of films about teenagers . True, German production. "Rebel" is a film about a girl named Hayley, who has been involved in gymnastics all her life. And, moreover, she did well in this. But once she was tired of constant training and endless diets, and she decided to live the life of an ordinary teenager.
But this venture very soon bore fruit, and not the best, so now she faces a prison. Although there is an alternative option - a closed gymnastics school. Dad tried. If her will, Haley would choose a prison, because this school is far from a paradise.
"Neighbor"
And this romantic comedy tells the story of a guy named Matthew and presents films about teenagers' love. The list must be continued. So, Matthew is a high school student and after school is going to follow in the footsteps of his parents, that is, to become a politician. True, for this he needs to graduate from a prestigious university.
Of course, in the pursuit of good grades, Matthew has to bypass all the delights of student life. He does not attend parties and is not popular with girls. Matthew is a nerd, and his friends are the same.
Somehow, taking out the trash, the guy notices a beautiful girl entering a neighboring house. He begins to follow her. Moreover, he even manages to spy on how she changes clothes. Soon, Daniel notices the guy and a relationship is established between the guys. Matthew in seventh heaven with happiness, none of his friends have such a girlfriend. But his heightened mood begins to subside when the guy finds out that his Daniel is a famous porn actress. What should he do: stay with his beloved or choose a career?
"Speak"
The story of Melinda Sordino is unlikely to appeal to those who like films about teenage love. True, she can replenish the list, because Melinda is a teenager and goes to school. More recently, she moved to a new class, but has already managed to become an outcast.
Almost everyone is hostile to her: former friends and girlfriends, current classmates, everyone at a meeting tries to offend her. But she suffers everything and does not show anyone how bad she is. Melinda is engaged in drawing, and the only people who support her are a school friend and her teacher. What happened, because before the girl was a completely different attitude.
And the thing is that ill-fated day. Because of him, the girl is harassed. And she could change everything, justify herself in the eyes of others, but she won’t. After all, Melinda vowed to remain silent and not to tell what happened then.
"Crybaby"
Although the fundamentally best films about the love of adolescents are not considered here, a list without such a picture as “Crybaby” with the participation of Johnny Depp should not be compiled. So Baltimore, 1954. In the center of events is the love story of a decent girl and a street bully. It was not in vain that Wade was called a crybaby, for it is enough for him to let a tear fall, as all the girls in the area of ​​visibility fall in love with him. And educated, as well as correct, Alisson was no exception.
The guys begin to meet, but their happiness is constantly disturbed. For example, the girl’s grandmother is not very happy with the chosen granddaughter. Yes, and their own fans are constantly climbing into relationships. And the biggest problem is that the girl’s rich family belongs to a society that is at odds with the crybaby company. Will the couple be able to maintain their relationship with such a pressure?
"14+"
And finally, so that no one would think that there are only films about teenagers abroad, the list should be completed with this picture. In “14+” the first love is told between teenagers who had to face serious problems on the way to happiness.
Lesha and Vika have mutual sympathies for each other, but for some reason they cannot be together yet. After all, parents do not share their choice and do not believe that at the age of 14 they can have one at all. In addition, adolescents have to go over their own fears and complexes, because each of them, having taken the first step, is afraid to be rejected.
But the most important thing is that the children study in schools that are at war with each other. Well, all this is an excellent test of first love for strength, which will either strengthen relations between adolescents or completely destroy them. Here is an example of the fact that there are good Russian films about teenagers. The list can now be completed.
