In the Inside Out clip the teen is sad about moving away to a new home and area. Her emothions are all over the place as she tries to just keep it together. When her parents try to help by bringing her out of herself, she lets the anger out that she feels toward them and the situation.

Inside Out clip….teen behavior unpredictable and then snowballed to go to your room--so typical as behavior escalates

SNL...hilarious...worse scenario...blame the media message (from Elvis to MTV)...blame peers--again so typical to put the blame elsewhere.

Bee movie - Kids at this age are not ready for the mature expectations that our culture expects....graduate from high school at 17-18, go to college, or get a job. The reality that we were expected to have a life plan at this age was unreasonable. This clip shows that lack of interest / immaturity / distractibility that teenagers face upon graduation. Anything less that a future plan is unacceptable.

Attitudes.  Miscommunication.

The not responding to when you raise your voice.  It makes them reactive. They are testing and finding their independence in a new way.

# data[].attributes.body
Adolescents seem to be able to relate to one another better than their parents or other authority figures. They are trying to assert independence by trying to "win" arguments and prove their own points.

# data[].attributes.body
The Inside/Out clip showed the disconnect that seems to occur between parents/kids. Too many parents want to "be pals" with their children & the real issues seem to get lost in the shuffle. The SNL clip stressed me out! Everyone's basic lack of respect/communication/listening skills were difficult to watch... Wow.

Characteristics shown in the Bee Movie clip included hormones, egocentric, laziness, and preferring time with friends over time with parents. Inside Out showed mood swings and difficulty communicating with parents/adults as well as trouble fitting in in new situations. The SNL clip showed a generation gap and the disrespect that can be shown in adolescence.

Barry in the Bee Movie reminded me of working with middle school students during transition activities.  They usually don't have any idea what they want to do after high school, or their goals are unrealistic (professional athlete).  In the SNL clip, it is apparent that the teens were giving in to peer pressure.  They were feeding off of each other to talk back to the parents.  In the feelings clip, Riley was experiencing a mood swing and lashing out at her parents, which seemed to be a new behavior for her.  Very much like a teenager with raging hormones!

# data[].attributes.body
At times it seems impossible to read teen minds or to get through to them or speak their language. Sometimes you feel absolutely helpless, like Riley's parents. You try everything you know, every angle, and in the end everyone still feels frustrated. It's great to remember to just let them know that you are there to listen and truly be interested in what they are saying. Let them be able to trust you and let you in.

In the Inside Out movie I observed Riley getting really frustrated when her parents were talking to her. She was huffing and puffing and then became angry quickly and left the dinner table by storming away. In the SNL skit, the teenage girls didn't want to give the parents the time of day. They were snappy and annoyed with any questions they were being asked.

Personal experience with a tween in the family, does not respond (she is definitely thinking of something else), explosively answering back, and walking away.... no RUNNING away! LOL I fully understand Patience is a virtue!

All three clips depicted the emotionality of the adolescent brain, which I have observed as an educator in the middle school environment. I was familiar with the programs from which each clip came, but never considered them in the context of the adolescent brain. Barry the Bee: impulsive. Riley: internal conflict leads to explosive behavior. Elizabeth and Tammy: searching for their identities, which are quite different from those of their parents/guardians.  Each of the adolescents featured would benefit from freedom, with limits.
