The film starts off typically, in a high school. Theres an outsider that comes in new and doesn't know anyone. This is very common in most teen films. Another common thing in the film is that there is a bad girl. She's sort of the ring leader. Then theres the 'Clique'. The group of girls take in the new boy. All these characters is what makes this film a teen movie.
This film is very modern and everything that happens, shows us that the teenagers nowadays are interested in nothing but fashion and how they look; rather than care about the wider world.
The clique are represented to be very materialistic; they love fashion and make up. The ring leader in particular, loves the celebrity lifestyle and wishes she could live like that. In a way, this links with other teen dramas because the way the teenagers live their lives is how most teenager want to live life and is shown in most teen movies. In most teen films, you will see teenagers partying and living life to the fullest. This is how it is in The Bling Ring. One thing that differs from other teen dramas, is that the boy is lured in to the group by the ring leader. This is doesn't normally happen in most teen films. Also what the teenagers do in The Bling Ring is very different than other typical teenage movies. The clique set out to rob the celebrities houses which doesn't often happen in teen dramas.
The outsider is exactly how an outcast should be portrayed. He is a young boy who doesn't really know how to dress and feels insecure about himself. He doesn't know how to be around people and feels like he doesn't belong. This is very similar in other teen dramas because there is always an outsider who doesn't get along with the others in a high school. 
The robbery in the film is what makes this movie unique in a way. As a whole the teen drama was good but the ending could've been better. The consequence for those teenagers wasn't enough and frankly that i think that, thats what let the film down.
