They did a good job at portraying all of the types and attitudes of highschoolers during the 80s. As an 80s teen myself, I enjoyed this movie back then as I could identify with the kids portrayed - the rich girl who thought she was above everyone, the smoker, the geek, the jock, and the introvert (I was a geeky introvrrt). Too bad kids in real life from different backgrounds can't figure out how much alike they really are behind their facades the way they do by the end of the movie. My teen daughter in 2009 enjoyed this movie too so I guess today's teens aren't much different. Would be a good movie to show teens in school to show how they can be friends and get along if they put their differences and prejudices aside.

I enjoyed this book. I read it as a late teen and I liked the innocence. The storylines are not as complex or involved as other vamp books but I'd advise you, if you're looking for something more adult, you look at maybe the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris or Halfway to the Grave (also a series) by Jeaniene Frost. The characters were not overly mushy or sexual at all really. I think this book is more for the early teen years. I liked it because I could relate, I was a goth teen and that fashion still sticks with me. I also love vampires!
 The rest of the series grows up with the characters and you see them become more complex and find out new things about them. It's kind of kiddish in its simplicity, but as the series has gone on I've enjoyed it more and more.

As YA adaptations go, this isn’t quite The Notebook, but its core demographic of teen girls will likely be more than satisfied.

Three easy teen paranormal reads that was some nice and easy brain candy. I don't have too much to say about the books; each story was better than the one before it, but I'll most likely forget them in a week, possibly two.

By daytime a shy teen but by night he is the shock jock on his pirate radio station. When first seen this i was a teenager and i could empathize with the main character and how i wish i could be like that.

I had my reservations, but at the end, Marvel has done it again! This version perfectly supports the MCU. My favorite parts throughout were simply the reality of a teenage boy trying to do what’s right while still being a typical teen.
