The movie may have taken place over twenty years ago, but teen issues in 1985 are the same as 2010. The Breakfast Club represents many themes of a teenager's life, including conformity. Each character is a different individual, a different stereotype, who have conformed, who refuse to conform, or who want to conform. The movie also makes a statement to teenagers experiencing similar situations. This lesson is to accept others for who they are and most importantly, to be yourself.
The Breakfast Club is coming-of-age movie with each character growing up from adolescence. There's a jock and a princess who've conformed to be popular, a nerd who wants to conform to fit in, and the two outsiders--a freak and a criminal--who only want to be accepted. Each has experienced the results from it. They have lost friends, gained friends, been peer pressured, pressured others, some even suffered from depression and the use of drugs. Conformity has affected their individuality. It has taught them to accept others and also to discover themselves. Tht have each learned their true identity.
