Adolescent was hard hitting and raw and those high school scenes! As an ex teacher and having spent some time working in juvenile detention in my past life I’ve seen and worked with kids like Jamie and it breaks your bloody heart!

I can’t imagine what it would be like to work in juvenile detention.

It was different to what I imagined - teachers were sometimes those kids only allies. It’s a shit system where we detain 12 year olds alongside convicted 18 year olds 😔

I haven't watched Adolescent yet I will sometime, the content looks very heavy and it looks like it can be triggering because I see kids like the main character all the time in the work that I do. Stephen Graham is a brilliant actor highly recommend anything that he does.

Yep, I wouldn't recommend watching it if you're not sure about having to watch the work you do on the screen. Also, it looks like the school scenes are much crazier than what would be happening at our schools so that would be a bit frustrating to watch.
