Teen films are targeted at teenagers and young adults, with plots focused on their lives and interests like coming of age, first love, rebellion against parents, and teen angst. These subjects are presented in an exaggerated, stereotypical way and include humor to downplay seriousness. Some teen films appeal more to young males, others to young females. The Brat Pack refers to a group of young actors who appeared in popular teen films of the 1980s like The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire. Common character stereotypes in teen films include jocks, princesses, geeks, rebels, misfits, and loners. Settings are often high schools to showcase different social groups.
