While watching the Breakfast Club, I was thinking about why these kids in the video act up the way they do? And what family problems did they have? Well it was clear in the video that these kids came from abusive families, either it could be verbally or physically, because all of them talked about their broken home. I think these kids have intra-family violence, because they explained how their life is unsatisfied. How these kids grew up has lot to do the way they are acting, because Claire told about how her parents are using to get back to each other. Soccerboy456
I wouldn't go as far as saying that all of these kids are abused or that all of them have broken homes. For the most part they are just mistreated in some way which upsets them. For example, Andy feels hes pushed to hard by his father and Claire feels ignored. Bender is the one who is abused, which he proves by showing the cigar burn on his arm. Overall they suffer some kind of perceived mistreatment, but the one who comes from a truly broken home is Bender.-Anonemoose456
This movie is an excellent example of the effects of the family, peers, and superiors on youths. Each of the main characters in this movie suffers some form of mistreatment at home which leads them to be unhappy with their lives and pushes some into delinquency. While most of them enter into slight delinquency through faltering to peer pressure and smoking marijuana, the abused one, Bender, is the one who has entered into the most delinquency. Bender found his way into a criminal lifestyle because he lacked a loving home and loving parents, he was lead further into this lifestyle when he was labeled as a criminal by his peers and his superiors. In the end they form friendships and relationships with one another yet keep their assigned labels. Its possible they could remain friends, which would seem to be the their best chance of finding solace and Bender's best chance of avoiding a criminal path through life. Nothing has changed with their families or with the leadership of their school, but if they have each other to confide in they can find a loving environment outside of a delinquent group or something as extreme as a gang.- Anonemoose456
There is always a chance for the children to grow out of their bad behaviors (except for maybe Bender). But now that they have all become friends it is just as likely that they form close bods with each other outside of the household and become less dependent on the family as a means of love and support. This could lead to extreme forms of behavior like gangs as you mentioned, something I never really took into account while watching the movie. Well put anonemoose! ChiefO'Keefe456
This movie is a shining example of how much of an impact people around a youth can have on them. Whether it was physical, mental, or emotional abuse who knows, but by the way they act and carry themselves, its evident that they do not have the best home life. Breakfast Club is a prime example on how children that grow up in a negative way generally act negatively towards others. With these home problems some succumb to peer pressure and slight delinquency, by smoking marijuana. They end up relating to each other because of all their poor home experiences and bond together that way, which would be preferable than gangs or possibly prison. -Morton456
When I was watching this movie, I really got a better understanding of how family interactions play a part in the child's life. Right off the bat there are three cars that pull up to school to drop their kids off. All three children seemed to be the ideal nuclear families and not under a lot of economical stress (all the families were driving decent cars, wearing decent clothing). Whichever parent dropped them off, that parent would refer to the other parent in regards if the other would be proud of the grades they were receiving in school (at least for the second two kids). The parents seemed harsh towards the children. Not abusive by any means, but maybe just enough to lead them to delinquent acts such as getting into detention in the first place or smoking weed while serving their punishment. However, one child stuck out among the rest. You could say the others were just peer pressured into making bad decisions, but the child named Bender was ultimately disadvantaged, coming from a broken home and abusive parents. Overall, all of the parents could've taken better approaches to keeping their children from committing these juvenille acts. More supervision, knowing what your child is doing and where they are could've helped. ChiefO'Keefe456
That sums it up pretty well. Most of the children aren't actually abused, they're simply treated in a way that makes them feel ignored or as if they are being treated unfairly. But that its self is enough for a child to fall into delinquent behavior. Out of a lack of respect for their parents authority or in order to find something to replace the love they're unable to find at home. They're unlikely to become criminals, but Bender will definitely need some kind of reform in his life to keep him out of trouble.-Anonemoose456
In these movies it shows clearly that at least 84 percent of students were abused by parent acting alone or with another person. Some might be physical neglect, emotional abuse or emotional neglect. One kid had a father really worried about the students chance of getting a full ride on a scholarship instead of the reason why he was really in trouble in the first place. Some try to show there status of how bad they are like its some sort of a ranking system. They have more of a street mentality. These students are mainly emotionally abused. Neglect or ignored from love. Counselors need to focus not mainly on these students but on these families to. Now that wont happen unless its the last resort because money doesn't grow on trees. Early intervention is the only way that can help these students from having substance abuse or damaged personality. Will help those symptoms from growing like wildfire between siblings or other students in school.-Shotokan456
When I watch the breakfast club it makes me wonder what their home life’s are like. It also made me wonder what there group of friends is like. It seemed like a lot of the kids in this movie had fell under peer pressure. I think family and friends do a lot when kids try and make decisions. I think peer pressure has a lot to do with why kids commit juvenile acts and they are worried about there ego and how they look in front of other people such as their friends and family. In the video it really shows what kind of home life the kids have. None of them had the best homes some of they were abused and some of them were forced to do things that their parents wanted them to that they weren't big on. It’s amazing to me how someone’s judgment can effect kids so drastically. Even the smallest things effect kids. And it amazed me how fast they all crumbled and smoked weed in the school and how they all left the detention room. The kids in detention didn't look like that bad of kids but you get one kid that’s always there and always in trouble and it changes the kids completely. I think some parents need to be better role models for their kids and watch who their kids hang out with so they don’t get messed up with the wrong crowd and they make the right decisions with the right kids.

Parental interaction is KEY in a young persons' life. Breakfast Club is a prime example on how children that grow up in a negative way generally act negatively towards others. This movie got me wondering how their life at home was, in the beginning. They looked, initially, like the perfect families. They looked like a nuclear family, a caring father and mother and their siblings. Except we figured out that they didn't have the best home life, their parents abused them and made them do things they did not want to do. This, harshness, their parents put on them took its toll. It caused them to commit delinquent acts without a second thought, like smoking weed and getting into chronic detentions at school. It all comes back to the parents, they need to know where their kids are and know what they are doing, and they need to be better role models. -Morton456
