They typically deal with teen issues such as relationships, coming out, teenage pregnancy, teenage suicide, abortion, bereavement, child abuse, homelessness, male rape/date rape, alcohol addiction and drug abuse) Moving image genre/form guide via WWW, Oct. 10, 2007: (Youth: Fictional work portraying aspects of the trajectory through adolescence, including high school years, peer pressure, first love, beach parties, and initial attempts at adulthood, along with strains in the relationship with family.
