Turning 20 seems like the end of an era for me. I\u2019ve been a teenager for 7 years now and it makes adult life seem that much more real.<\/p>\n<p>These past few weeks of being 19 have made me reflect back on all the teen movies that have made me appreciate the past couple of years so much. Here are my favorite teen movies that everyone should revisit, regardless of age:<\/p>\n<p>1.<span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Sixteen Candles<br \/>\nJohn Hughes is a teen movie wizard. All of his movies are so genuine and hilarious, but my personal favorite is <i>Sixteen Candles<\/i>.\u00a0 Nothing makes me cringe and laugh more than the party scene at Jake Ryan\u2019s!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/1\/?ui=2&amp;ik=d20fd183e4&amp;view=fimg&amp;th=1537858a70a786b3&amp;attid=0.5&amp;disp=emb&amp;realattid=ii_1537856bf2617c41&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ_lVx0cVdKzDQZqbnoqtvwxI_iRHebykTq4b7FR8LnGbxtp8OHmWohpQVg9ffKq2yQncZQnuMEkPikwzoGVgtrU92j2lfAVJC7NbCV5WfXmlNYxtxBQ33vCtLw&amp;sz=w524-h292&amp;ats=1458136836679&amp;rm=1537858a70a786b3&amp;zw&amp;atsh=1\" alt=\"Inline image 1\" width=\"262\" height=\"146\" class=\"CToWUd\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2.<span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Clueless<br \/>\nThis movie is one of my absolute favorites of all time! The wardrobe, script, and casting are so iconic and the entire film is so quote-worthy. I idolized Cher in high school and though I will never come close to being as cool as she is, I\u2019ll still definitely try.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/1\/?ui=2&amp;ik=d20fd183e4&amp;view=fimg&amp;th=1537858a70a786b3&amp;attid=0.3&amp;disp=emb&amp;realattid=ii_1537856e8dec917b&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ8688i0oECiF62hgvRoOJWHgCbNoJkExmQa2E3njlAhEMVzIIiLREnNCnifGZWz216JfvsAWYFZuMYbWxmXna4t5YEFvHtFH7sICfycSdmj-K9gdx-p0nQGFd8&amp;sz=w524-h348&amp;ats=1458136836680&amp;rm=1537858a70a786b3&amp;zw&amp;atsh=1\" alt=\"Inline image 2\" width=\"262\" height=\"174\" class=\"CToWUd\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3.<span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>American Pie<br \/>\n<i>American Pie <\/i>is one of those movies that can make me laugh hysterically on any day.
