Teen drama films, which usually consist of “finding self-identity”,
usually talk about how the teenagers survive, trying to fit in the society so they
can be accepted as another identity. My creative work is about a girl who has
been compared by her mother to her sister since her childhood and also being
bullied because she does not have good grades, thus leads her to grow into a ball
of inferiority and lose herself. She goes on a journey with her punk friends to find
her father and finally, she finds her true self. The main subject matter for this
creative work is self-identity. However, the theme is how social environment can
make people feel inferior and shape someone’s identity. The theory used for this
work is ‘Stages of Psychosocial Development’ by Erik Erikson. This theory helps
to find the crisis inside a specific range of ages when the stage is not met.
