As i was watching the 2008 documentary film, directed by Nanette Burstein, American Teen presents us with a highschool filled with highschool kids dealing with all sort of typical and common issues us highschoolers go with in our day to day life. In this film, we are presented with one character who goes by the name Hannah Bailey, also known as "the rebel". Hannah is an artist, musician and wannabe filmmaker. Early in her grade 12 year, her long-time boyfriend breaks her heart, causing her to miss weeks of school while she recovers from the heartbreak, and later, while she deals with possible embarrassment at school for missing so many days. During the course of the documentary, She dates Mitch for a while during the year, but their relationship causes friction with his clique of friends. Causing him to break her heart via a text message (I know what you are thinking... what a jerk!). At the year's end, she heads to San Francisco to live (and eventually go to college). In the film's credits, it's revealed she left the west coast for New York City to study filmmaking.
Now, focusing on the issues Hannah had, these are most definately some issues a few highschool girls would go through. Dating a guy for such a long time, then later on something bad happens, such as feelings change and the dude no longer wants you, and before you know it, they are finito! Typical, typical, typical! However, I don't think many girls would ever react in the same manner as Hannah did. I mean, who realistically would miss so much school and risk their grade 12 year over a stuid boy? I don't know actually, some people just make the weirdest decisions! I'm just glad her dad somehow tried to convince her to go back to school, and just act normally and to keep her head up. She certainly did that, she went about with her year and as she graduated and finished from highschool, she then moved to San Francisco to live on her own their and to eventually go to college, get an education and lead a success life for many years to come.
