An article from the signs of life.

In the book Signs of Life in the USA there was an article by David Denby called, "High-School Confidential: Notes on Teen Movies".  The article talks about how movies display adolescents and how they exaggerate it.  In some movies media seems to portray the blonde hair and blue eyes girls as the head cheerleader, and the tanned tall handsome football player as the most popular students there is.  The losers of the school would be considered as some ugly geek with braces and thick glasses. In my response, yes, high school can be rough around the edges, but it is not as bad as people make it as in movies.  I think that the reason why adolescents act like some characters in the movies is because what is being shown on social media.
