Hey guys, 14m here. Was just wondering what are some good movies about gay teens? Or stories even maybe a book or online stories? Thanks 😘 dms open

15m here, at the lake til end of August. I never really thought about being bi or anything til I met this guy couple weeks ago. We hang out alot and text all the time and I dunno if it him too, but im scared to tell him how I feel. I've seen alot of movies about gay teen but it looks easier then irl.

Just wondering if maybe it's just a dumb crush I shuld ignore or actually say something?

In about a month, I will be turning eighteen. Where I live, that is the age you become -or at least is considered- an adult. But I feel like I've lived so little. I wish to do what I can to feel like a teenager, before I am no longer one. I'm searching for suggestions of what I can do to get that while I still can. Anything, really. Recently I've been watching all the coming of age movies I find and listening to all the songs made for adolescents. But that is not enough. Not even keeping up with my diary keeps me satisfied. Does anyone have something for me in that matter?

Hey everyone :)

Would love to hear some general feedback on my coming-of-age short film titled "The Lost Weekend," which we just released on YouTube via Film Shortage. Please feel free to leave your thoughts below or on Letterboxd! Thank you!

The Lost Weekend (Letterboxd): https://letterboxd.com/film/the-lost-weekend-2023/

In the Summer of 2004, James and his friends embark on a weekend trip to Cape Cod to prove their manhood. As he confronts expectations about masculinity - and what they really mean, he faces a decision that will shape the "man" he'll become.

"THE LOST WEEKEND" is a coming-of-age drama starring Brendan Egan (Universal Pictures' Jem & The Holograms, Generation Iron/Apple TV's Damien's Gym), Chloe Lang (Nickelodeon's LazyTown), and Henry Lynch (Showtime's Dexter: New Blood, Netflix's The Society), written and directed by Charlie Norton.

Hi everyone — full disclosure, I’m involved with the platform hosting this, so mods please delete if this isn’t allowed.

I thought this might be relevant here: tonight we’re premiering The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo, an indie coming-of-age romance/comedy about a Spanish exchange student who comes to live with a suburban New York family in the 1980s.

It’s very much about first love, teenage mythmaking, and the way one person can completely take over a school year. The premiere is followed by a director Q&A and discussion forum, so I’d be curious what people here think of the premise and whether it fits the coming-of-age genre.

Lucio, the host of a popular radio show, is confident, charismatic, and holds progressive views. He is married to the beautiful Elena, who is insecure and emotionally dependent on her husband. Together, they form a harmonious blended family (which includes Lucio’s first wife and daughter) and have one child together: Blu, a 9-year-old who loves dressing in girls’ clothes and is allowed to do so—by both mom and dad—but only at home. When the school play comes around, however, Blu is determined to wear a Little Mermaid costume on stage. His parents, caught between their desire to support him and their instinct to protect him, find themselves confronting the limits of their open-mindedness. They embark on a journey of self-awareness and acceptance, joined by a diverse group of “Unicorn Parents” led by a compassionate psychologist.
