The screenwriter for Rebel Without a Cause definately knew what he was doing when he wrote the storyboard for the film. J.D. Salinger, when writing "Catcher in the Rye", was pretty spot on too. Both of these works are pieces that show what it is truly like to be a teenager. It's hard as hell! Making friends and keeping up with school and developing relationships is not an easy task. Everyone sometimes loses control. We all feel alone at times. It's normal. It's life. You may not be able to see it on our faces, but it is still there. Showing emotions is a difficult thing to do. For all of us...
Anyway...
Going off of that rant, I think Juno is a somewhat stretched yet almost perfect representation of the modern teen. She shows us that shit happens in life and we have to be able to pick up the pieces. It may be hard but there are always people to help if you ask.
