There are some great movies about teenagers and their problems that can teach us important things about life, growing up, sexuality, love, friendship and society. 

I put here movies with teenagers (youth between 13 and 19 years old) in the main roles or included in the main storyline, but not movies where they are parts of a ''less important'' storyline (American Beauty and American History X, for example). So, here we have crime dramas, thriller dramas, dramas about teenager - mother/father relationship, romantic dramas, comedy dramas, dramas with bullying, gay dramas, dramas about teenager - teacher relationship, mind-twisting dramas, horror dramas, dramas with a high school fighting, jail dramas and sport dramas.

My favorite movies from here are: Whiplash, Love Exposure, The Wounds, Confessions, Flipped, House of Hummingbird, Keith, ...ing, Alpha Dog, The Girl Next Door, The Invisible (2007) and Moving On.

I hope you'll enjoy the list and give me some suggestions, if I missed any notable titles.

P.S. Thanks to Sandra Lukić, who helped me with several titles listed here.
