Teenhood

While I liked to a large extent Ms. Lowachee's loose trilogy Warchild, Burndive, Cagebird - I actually liked the writing a lot and the universe of the series was intriguing but the main characters were somewhat annoying and I generally dislike teen boys as heroes especially in sf, less in fantasy since in medieval times there was no such thing as "teenhood" and a 15-16 year old could be as mature as a 30 year old today, but having modern teens as heroes is like having children as heroes in many ways - I sort of forgot to follow her writing until I saw this somewhere in the links above and it seemed interesting, while for once the none of the main characters seems to be a modern male teenager... ❋ Liviu (2009)

They plucked things from their own 1980s/90s childhood/teenhood, thought of them as universally teen-y, and put them in the film. (e.g. Thunder Cats, hamburger phone, dowdy flannel shirts a la grunge.) ❋ Roger Sutton (2008)
