In the tapestry of teenage life, bad habits, bullying, and family issues have always been part of the story, no matter which generation we're talking about. Whether it's the older generation (baby boomers) or the younger one (Gen Z), it seems like these problems always show up. What makes them different is how they happen, how people deal with them, and how much they affect us. And this is just my thoughts and my observation, I'm not a guru or an expert but probably thoughts of me being once a teenager.
For people who love movies and books, these things are like the essential ingredients in a recipe. Just like a dish isn't tasty without the right spices, growing up isn't complete without these challenges. People often say, and it's somewhat true, that these difficulties are a normal part of growing up. At some point in your life, there's always someone who makes things tough for you. What matters is how you handle it and how it affects you.
Recently, during a press event for the TV show "Senior High," one of the main actresses, Andrea Brillantes, talked about being bullied. She explained how her experience was very similar to what happens to some characters in the show.
If we look back at the time when the baby boomers were young, there were movies with actors like Dolphy who often played characters dealing with bullying or family problems. Some famous examples are Facifica Falaypay, Captain Barbell, Bondying, and others.

Similarly, in Herbert Bautista's movies, his characters were usually bullied, as seen in films like "Puto" and "Captain Barbell."
Even though these challenges are a natural part of growing up and life's journey, we still need to find the courage to tell others how we feel. While these problems may not be a big deal for some, they have become serious issues for today's generation that require attention and help.

The "Senior High" series isn't just showing us what today's young people are going through; it aims to make us aware of what might happen and how it affects them.
The series is sure to spark discussions as it unfolds its story in each episode. According to the actors in the series, viewers will easily connect with the characters, their challenges, and their narratives. While the show addresses some prominent themes, it also delves into the hidden problems within each individual and family, offering opportunities for exploration.
