Why does everyone have perfect skin?!

Real talk: movies and TV shows are filled with unrealistic expectations when you're a teenager.

Remember when Rachel McAdams was 26 years old when Mean Girls premiered, but she was actually playing a 16-year-old character?

Maybe you get annoyed every time you see teenagers on the screen with flawless skin, because it's just not reality.

The CW

Not a pimple in sight!

Perhaps you always question party scenes in movies because no one in their right mind would invite THE ENTIRE SCHOOL over to get drunk.

And how are the cops almost never called? There are literally hundreds of underage kids with alcohol/drugs making a ruckus!*

(*In case you couldn't tell by my using the word "ruckus," I was never invited to parties in high school.)

Maybe you question the outfits of your favorite teens on TV because NO ONE ever wears the same thing more than once.

Or maybe it always bothers you that students almost never get in trouble in TV/movies, even though they just did something totally awful.
