Clark University professor Timothy Shary has published a book about teen movies. the book is called 'teen movies: american youth on screen.



According to Shary, recent films have addressed serious youth issues like never before - a trend he hopes will continue. “Coach Carter,” “Mysterious Skin” and “The Ballad of Jack and Rose,” all released in 2005, tackled such topics as the value of education among athletes,



“These are films that show young people confronting issues about race, religion, body image, romance, drugs, parents, friends, sex, sexual preference and crime, and they explore these issues with a mature attitude while still allowing their characters to explore their youth,”

i plan on looking at this book for more information on teen movies.
