One social group that is represented in our teen angst opening is the more unpopular females in school, this is shown through one of the main characters; Kate. She is very similar to the main character in 'The Edge of Seventeen' - Nadine. One of these many similarities is the way they look and dress, both of them have dark brown hair and are white and their clothing could be seen as less fashionable compared to the popular characters in both movies, hence showing their differences beteen unpopular and popular. Another similarity that they share is that they are both quite negative about life and don't think they are very important. This is shown in our teen angst film by the narration by Kate when she is introducing herself. In 'The Edge of Seventeen' Nadine only has one friend, this is another similarity between the two characters.

Another social groups that our teen angst film represents is the more popular/'cool' males in school, this is done through the main character being Aiden. He is represented as being popular mostly through the way that he is dressed, wearing fashionable clothes and seeming to care about his appearance, as well as what sort of hobbies and sports that he is into, being football. This can be compared to a character in the film  'The Edge of Seventeen' who is called Darian, He is the stereotypical athletic male character in this film. He is similar to Aiden through aspects such as the way they are both dressed with both of them wearing hoodies, dark blue jeans and a bag due to both films being mainly set in a school. These clothes are casual and quite simple and yet expresses the characters in the same way. They are also both into sports with Darian playing American Football due to that being a very popular sport in America and Aiden playing football for the same reason in England. The only major difference between the two characters is their ethnicity, Darian is Caucasian whereas Aiden is from Pakistani descent, this is also one of the only countertypes in our film. This adds more diversity within our film. They are also roughly the same age being at the higher levels of education. (Sixth form & High school)
