The idea that teenagers are curious about sex is reinforced through the over the sholder shot used when he is looking at the older woman getting dressed through the window over the road. The shot is hand held so that the audience can have the same experience as the teenage main character. The following close up shot shows a lack of expression suggesting that this is routine and he has become disaffected by the image. This conforms to the stereotype that teenagers' lives are surrounded by sex and it plays a big part of their life.
Another idea which is portrayed to us about the sterotypical view of teenagers staying out later drinking and partying is shown when we see the girl, who we assume is the protogonists sister, walking home looking scruffy in the morning. We see this when the track shot is used, coming out from behind the driveway. This shot shows how the girl is seen by others, and makes her look conscious that others are looking at her. This shot then turns into a long shot, so we can fully see the outfit she is wearing.
