The movie thirteen touched many important factors of adolescent’s development. Some of the ones I want to concentrate in this paper are: family system‚ developmental tasks‚ and peer pressure.

Fargo Movie This movie is strikingly funny and at the same time‚ quite disturbing. The twist is very sharp and hooks people watching it.
