Realistic Teen Dramas?
Question by Glenda: Realistic teen dramas?
I’m looking for edgy, realistic movies that deal with “teen” issues such as drug abuse, family issues, sex, etc. Nothing too cookie-cutter, please lol.
Examples: Kids, Bully, Ken Park, Wassup Rockers, Thirteen, Mini’s First Time, Havoc, Prozac Nation, Dazed and Confused, Mysterious Skins, American Beauty, Pretty Persuasion, etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙂
Thank you so much, everyone! 🙂

Try some of these:
The Breakfast Club (1985)
Say Anything (1989)
Rebel Without A Cause (1955)
Splendor in the Grass (1961)
American Graffiti (1973)
Over the Edge (1979)
Carrie (1976)
Little Darlings (1980)
The Outsiders (1983)
Rumble Fish (1983)
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986)
Pretty In Pink (1986)
Stand By Me (1986)
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Heathers (1989)
Boyz n the Hood (1991)
The Virgin Suicides (2000)
Donnie Darko (2001)
Also I don’t know if you are looking for TV shows with realistic teen dramas but if you are I would recommend: Freaks and Geeks (it’s a shame they cancelled that show) and Daria (it is animated yes but as you continue to watch it the characters and issues really grow on you and become relevant).
Anyway I hope this helps and I really hope you will enjoy these films 🙂 have a nice day.
