Reflections about Thirteen & Adrian Moole

I'm going to reflect about what I've understood of them and about my thoughts related to the adolescenthood and all it involves.
They show us how different can be the same period lived by differents persons. The both main actors have problems in their live, but a really different ones.
On the first hand we've got Tracy, a thirteen year old girl who doesn't like herself and wants to change and become popular. What she didn't know, tough, is that it would include drugs, sex or other addictions. She starts to get on well with Evie, the most popular girls in the school, who pushes Tracy to all that rude things. All that changes also include a routine arguments of Tracy and Mel, and Tracy's father doesn't react in front of the problem.
On the other hand, we've got Adrian, a thirteen year old boy who is worried abou his spots and helps elderly people. He delivers the newspaper, loves his grandma, worries about his mother unknowledge of vitamins, he's in love with Pandora (who was first going out with Nigel, his best friend) and he is hit by Barry Kent.
Looking on the differents caracters we can see that there are infinite ways to life your adolescenthood, it can be harder or easier, but you always have your own problems and worries.
