This film tackles the 'mean', 'anti-adult' stereotype people tend to associate with teenagers.

This one also battles the teenager stereotype of them being 'moody' and 'sullen' all the time by demonstrating them to be positive and caring.

 Stereotype= an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristic.
