10 Life Lessons Teen Movies Taught Me:

I am a sucker for a good chick flick, especially ones that came out when I was between the ages of 10-18. From the trials and tribulations of every day teen life, fairy tale re-tellings, cheerleaders winning championships, to Heath Ledger singing through a speaker system.. these films shaped many of our generations, but what sort of life lessons did we received from these classic Teen movies?

Angus things and perfect snogging:

It’s okay to not be what is considered ‘desirable’ in today’s standards, being your fun loving, kind, weirdo self is where it’s at

Stick it:

Guy best mates can be just as amazing as girl best mates

Mean Girls:

Revenge isn’t always sweet, it’s always easy to loose yourself in a plot to hurt someone else. You not caring is the best revenge

Love Wrecked:

Who needs a Rockstar boyfriend when you can date your best mate, they will make you laugh more than any other

Bring It On!:

Winning by cheating isn’t a good win.. it just makes you a bit of a loser

A Cinderella Story:

Anything bad in your life can be amended, it just takes the mental strength to carve out a better life for yourself, and ask for help from the people you love

Easy A:

No-one has to know all your business, it’s nice to keep some of your private life on the down low

Juno:

The best gift you could ever give someone is your help.. oh, and always wear a condom. AND nerdy boys are the best boys

10 Things I Hate About You:

Challenge the system, stick to your guns and never bow down to peer pressure

Clueless:

Use your privilege to make a difference.. even if it’s getting the new girl in school to feel more comfortable like Cher did for Tai

Aaaaand one for good luck..

She’s the Man:

If you can date Channing Tatum.. always date Channing Tatum

What’s your favourite teen movie? I’m always on the hunt for new films to watch!
