Teen movies that don't revolve around sex


Seriously, is there such a thing?

Does your society have any other adjectives besides "great"?

Twilight - vampires in high school
The Craft - witches in high school
Varsity Blues - the pressures of parental expectation at high school
Donnie Darko - something or other, I'm not really sure
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - vampires in high school. Oh, we've come full circle.

A lot of the teen movies in the 80s. While they may have had romance or sex subplots they weren't so monomaniacally focused on sex as something like Easy A or American Pie seems to be.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a good example. While there's some references to sex in it the film is mainly about blowing off school and having a good time with your friends. Similarly The Breakfast Club has sex/romance subplots and references but is really about different social groups getting to know each other.

Why Adventureland?
Stewart's character has an affair with a married man.

Totally forgot about that. But still the movie is more about Jesse Eisenberg's character. And the film is more about that summer after graduation rather than him trying to get laid.

And at once I knew I was not magnificent.
