There are a million and one movies about being a teenager. Some are good, and some are not so good. And then there are some that are great.The best thing about a great movie is the lesson it can teach or the way it can tell a story. They can make you see that the things your going through are things that you aren't alone in, or they can just make you laugh when you need it. Here's a list of some of the best movies for teenagers that might make you laugh, or make you feel a lot better about all of the stuff that can happen to you in high school, or even just in life.

1. "The Breakfast Club."

This is one of the greatest high school movies and my personal favorite. It's the story of a group of 5 very different teenager who meet in detention and become unlikely friends. By the end of the movie they learn "We are not alone" like the title of the Karla Devito song featured on the soundtrack.

2. "Mean Girls."

"Mean Girls" is hilarious and one of the most quotable movies of its time. The screenplay is written by Tina Fey so you know right away it's going to be a comedic delight. However, it also delivers a deeper message about friendship, standing up for what's right, and the price of popularity.

3. "Easy A."

"Easy A" stars the brilliant Emma Stone as Olive as she tries to navigate high school. It's full of moments that will make you laugh while also dealing with issues like sex and fitting in.

4. "A Cinderella Story."

"A Cinderella Story" is a love story and a modernized adaptation on the classic fairytale "Cinderella". It's witty, heartwarming, and leans on messages about college, fitting in, standing up to your parents, and belonging.

5. "The Greatest Showman."

So, no, this one does not take place in a high school. However, this musical spectacular will definitely engross the viewer and make them forget their troubles for an hour and fourty-five minutes. Not only that, but it showcases a powerful message about accepting yourself the way you are and standing tall and proud against the world. That's a message I think every teenager needs to hear.

6. "Remember The Titans."

This movie is from 2000 and features some very intense themes outside of it's high school themes. Yes, it deals with teen angst, but it also grapples with topics like racism. It's inspiring, and even tear-jerking at times, but definitely a movie worth watching.

7. "The Perks Of Being a Wallflower."

First of all, Emma Watson is in this movie. She is gorgeous, brilliant, and insanely talented so right away you should watch this movie. It follows a young boy named Charlie through his life in high school, and it paints an intensely empathetic picture of the teenage experiences. It deals with friendships, relationships, sex, sexuality, fitting in, and even mental health.

8. "10 Things I Hate About You."

This 90's movie is a modern day take of "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare. It follows two sisters in high school, both fathered by an overpotective dad who doesn't want them dating. It's filled with cheeky references, clever humor, and a love story that every viewer will be rooting for. It addresses things like the price of popularity, losing a parent, and, of course, prom.

9. "Never Been Kissed."

Another oldie but a goodie. "Never Been Kissed" is a laugh out loud romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore. She plays a newspaper reporter who goes back to high school undercover and hilarity ensues. She even has her first kiss.

10. "The Fault In Our Stars."

This one is a little different from some of the others that have made this list. The main protagonists are both high school age, but it doesn't follow their live in school. Instead, it follows their struggle with cancer and the trials of their relationships. It has a witty sense of humor, and you will definitely be ugly crying by the end.

11. "13 Going On 30."

Jennifer Garner stars in a movie about a 13 year old girl who wakes up on day a the 30 year old version of herself. At first, she wants nothing more than to grow up, but she soon starts to realize that her adult life is not what she had always been dreaming of. She learns a lesson about how high school is just a blip on the radar, and what comes after matters a lot more than getting the boy or being the most popular girl.

12. "Dead Poet's Society."

This movie was made in the late 1980's, and it takes place in a different kind of high school. It takes place in a private boy's prepatory school that is very strict on its students. Robin Williams plays their spirited English teacher who teaches them about living life to it's fullest and seizing the day. Warning: You will probably (definitely) cry.

13. "Love, Simon."

This movie is relatively new, but still really important. It follows high school student, Simon Spier, as he fights with his sexuality and his fear of coming out. It's a story of friendship and love that holds a lot of hope and shows that high school is hard, yes, but also gratifying, and also, how life is a lot like coming out.

14. "Juno."

Most people would probably describe "Juno" as quirky, and it definitely is. It's all about a young girl who gets preganant and how she deals with the aftermath of her actions. With wise cracking Ellen Page as it's main female protagonist, a folkie soundtrack, and some really bizarre dialogue, this movie may not be everyone's favorite, but it is definitely worth watching.

15. "Freedom Writers."

This 2007 Hillary Swank movie follows a young teacher who ends up at a low income school filled with underpriviledged teens. It's not a love story or a comedy, but it will make you laugh and cry. Swank's character, Erin Gruwell, teaches her students about tolerance and rising above one's circumstances. It's a good movie about how it can always get better and that there is always life after high school.

These movies are similar in a few ways, but they're all really different too. They will make you smile, laugh, cry, sing, and they'll teach you a lot about being a teenager and being a human being. They're all worth watching, at least once.
