10 Things… Teen Movies Taught Us About Life

They contain some valuable lessons

Rebecca McKnight

Movies such as Bring It On and She’s All That are made to entertain us but when you think about it, they actually contain some valuable lessons.

Here are 10 things that teen movies taught us about life…

College is the best time of your life

Make the most of those long lie-ins, nights out and lazy afternoons.

School is the most embarrassing time of your life

And you won’t care about those red-faced moments once you leave.

Don’t do sexual things to pies

Someone will walk in/find out.

You will make friends for life

Besties!

The popular kids won’t always be popular

As Baz Luhrmann says: “The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself”.

You will always remember your first kiss

But it won’t be in the rain and it won’t be romantic.

There’s always that one teacher who believes in you

And you’ll remember them for years to come…

Your high school crush won’t be the love of your life

In fact, he’ll turn out to be an idiot and you’ll end up with the nice guy.

It’s okay to be different

Standing out is what you really want to do.

If you want something enough, you can achieve it

Such as a cheerleading championship or your dream job.
