Thirteen & Adrian Mole

This term we had to read Adrian Mole is book and watch the film Thirteen. Both show us that the pas from childhood to adulthood isn’t easy.

The two main characters have problems like eating disorders, drugs, sex, petty crime, bad influences, addictions, popularity, divorce, adolescent relationship with parents…

A is normal to have some problems with your identity and your family in the adolescence but if you have an unstructured family like Adrian or Tracy it is more complicated because in their case, their families don’t show them how much they love them.

In the adolescence most of us change but Tracy has a radical change, she seems another person. This change happened because she was so influenced by others, exactly by Eve. When she met Eve she thought that everything will be better but finally it wasn’t like she has thought. Yes, she was popular but at what price?

Instead, Adrian isn’t especially popular. He is a good boy, he help an old men, Bert and he cares for his parents when they don’t feel well. But he had a problem, Barry. This guy beat him to get money. Lucky his grandmother went to see Barry and told him to stop hitting Adrian. He always had his heard in the clouds because he thought all the time about Pandora. His friend, Nigel, fail him because he had a relationship with Pan. But after Adrian forgave him.

After seeing and reading both we realize how important our friends and family are. We need to be able to differentiate who are our real friends, those who stand by in any situation.
