Representations of Youth: Stagnated or Progressive?

Young Males as Violent

"Kidulthood", "Adulthood", "Eden Lake", "Anuvahood", "Attack The Block", "My Brother The Devil"

Sexually Orientated

"Kevin and Perry Go Large", "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging", "Cherrybomb", "Inbetweeners"

Adult Influence over Younger (The idea of there being an adult influence over youth has decreased; teenagers are presented as being much more independent in some films. However, in the cases of "Sket" and "Shank", the producers have reverted back to including a sense of adult control seen often in Gang culture where the older members exert control and influence over the younger)

"This is England", "Kidulthood", "Adulthood", "Shank", "Sket"

Motivated for Success

"Starter For 10", "Fast Girls", "Good Vibrations"
