A content analysis of popular coming-of-age movies was conducted to determine how key elements of adolescence are depicted on screen. The results revealed that actors playing teen characters were often adults whose body measurements were significantly different from that of the typical adolescent. Teenage characters were rarely shown to be dealing with bodily changes commonly associated with puberty. The majority of adolescent protagonists did have love interests, and they typically found romantic success in pursuing their romantic interests. The findings are discussed with respect to social comparison and social learning theories.

Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper''s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father''s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up.

"Carrie Underwood was up on stage at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles with host Ryan Seacrest and her last competitor, rock singer Bo Bice. She had spent the last 4 months on the breakout hit show, American Idol, a singing competition that guaranteed instant stardom for the winner. The show''s judges had crisscrossed the country, stopping in many cities the summer before to listen to regular teenagers and young adults sing their hearts out for a chance on the show. Underwood, a college student from Oklahoma who loved singing and animals, had taken a chance on Idol despite her doubts that she would win or even pass the first audition. So, she arrived in Los Angeles at the beginning of the show ready and willing to work harder in life than she ever had before. The producers had pegged Underwood as the somewhat naïve, down-home country girl, and in a lot of ways, she was just that. She had sung over 20 songs on national television in front of an audience of millions who would call in to vote for her in high numbers. The judges, and many other people across the nation, had predicted that Underwood would win. But was that true? Underwood was not one to be boastful or overconfident. She gripped her microphone tight and took several deep breaths as Seacrest opened the envelope and dramatically said, "And the winner of the 2005 season of American Idol is ... Carrie Underwood!" The audience at the theater roared and stood up to clap for her. Underwood covered her face with both hands, and she began to cry as the confetti streamed down around her. Underwood had just won a million dollars, a recording contract, and a new Ford Mustang. Her life had already changed since her journey on American Idol, but now she had been launched into a whole different world. That summer, she went on a tour with other Idol contestants, filmed commercials, and began working on her first record that would be released in the fall, titled Some Hearts. She described the immediate onslaught from the press and the pace of her new life after she won as, "Bam, bam, bam. Welcome to your life.""--

Briggs, ricordi quando in Germania ti dissi che non potevamo parlarci una volta che le nostre strade si fossero divise? È stato il giorno in cui ti ho spezzato il cuore. Quello che non sapevi, era che stavo spezzando anche il mio. Credevo che mi sarebbero bastati: mio marito e mio figlio. Che sarei tornata a casa, e tutto sarebbe tornato com’era… Prima della guerra. Prima dell’imboscata. Prima di te. Ma non importa quanto ci provi, non riesco a cancellare il trauma che abbiamo condiviso. Non riesco a dimenticare il modo in cui il mio cuore batteva a tempo con il tuo. La verità è che sono persa senza di te. Quando ci hanno tirato fuori da quel buco nel terreno, pensavo che l’incubo fosse finito, ma nulla poteva prepararmi alla guerra che avrei affrontato a casa. So che è da egoisti chiedertelo, ma, ti prego, devo vederti un’ultima volta… Con tutto il mio amore, Scottie

I was drawn to darkness, and he was the abyss. Safe. It''s a liar''s word. No one is ever truly safe. Control is how I survived. I lived my life by two principles: order and excellence. My moral compass steered me out of the backwoods of Tennessee and towards the woman I was destined to become, but not without gathering a few skeletons along the way. Eventually, I found success, but my restless, relentless nature still left me feeling unsatisfied. Then I met a ghost of a man, an enigma. He wanted me submissive. I wanted to know him. At first, I was convinced Daniello was a figment of my imagination, a beautiful and dangerous apparition with an animalistic hunger and insatiable thirst. He threatened my need for order, and in his absence, I became more haunted by my past. My love for him made me flesh and bone-vulnerable. I was finally a woman with something to lose and would do anything to keep it. But when my past caught up with my present, it became clear that control was a farce, and safe would forever remain an illusion.

NINA When I was twenty-eight years old, I wrote my own winning lottery ticket. A simple idea thrust me onto the fast track to wealth, and into a world I had only ever dreamt about. I submerged myself in the unfamiliar, a life that seemed all too alluring ... until it lost its appeal. I made my fortune, built my castle, and then exiled myself within its comforts once reality set in. Far too late, I discovered I was drowning in a sea of hungry sharks. Given the choice to sink or swim, I chose the latter ... and it cost me everything. Devin McIntyre, the most dangerous shark of them all, was the last nail in my naïve coffin. His beautiful smile and amazing cock tainted me in ways I could have never imagined. I craved him. I needed him. I loved him. Miserable with the outcome of my prosperity, I set out to change what disgusted me most--the first decision being to rid myself of Devin. Little did I know that taking that first step would make me a slave to a man far more tempting ... or that my addiction to Devin would threaten to ruin it all. DEVIN I was a prick, but I never hurt anyone that didn''t deserve it. Well ... until Nina. I was a very smart man who made a very bad decision, but the mistakes I was paying for were not just my own. My behavior toward her, no matter how unforgivable, had always been about protecting her--from me, from my wife, and from the long line of mistakes I would never be able to rectify. Nina was finally done with me, and I knew it was for the best. I could finally keep her safe from depraved people like me. I needed her as far removed from the situation as possible. I tried to force myself to be content with her decision to move on ... until I found out whom she was moving on with.
