/coming of age/

how sad would it be if your "coming-of-age period" was made into a film?

I don't think a movie showing a kid sitting at his computer playing runescape would make a very entertaining movie

my coming of age years were spent fapping to shitty porn downloaded off limewire. Dunno how that would play out on film

>"coming-of-age period"
what did he mean by this?

bit sad with my dad and grandmother both dying of cancer less than a year apart from each other
but mostly would be boring because unlike movies would lead you to believe most kid becoming an adult experiences aren't entertaining

>I don't think a movie showing a kid sitting at his computer playing runescape would make a very entertaining movie
I don't think a movie showing a kid sitting at his computer playing Command And Conquer would make a very entertaining movie.
Great ost though.

>3 hour montage of me playing WoW 12+ hours a day
Sounds better than the actual WoW movie desu

I don't have a "coming of age" period

I don't talk to people, i don't make connections with others and i don't feel anything

>discovering the 2008-era Sup Forums
>mumbling some words then and there to "friends", and never being invited to their outings
>never tasting alcohol, and experimenting with drugs because of how secluded at home I was
>praying very autistically to not let bitterness get the best of me, but begging for God to do that by letting me lose my virginity
>also stuck at home looking over my four siblings, included my then 5-year old brother
>trudging around school pretending I had friends
>watching my grades sink from "we have the potential to send you off to Polytechniques (french MIT, sort of), to "eh, take this university and be happy about it"
>wild, wild ride of having internet friends, becoming the mascot for some forums by being a banterlord able to waste too much of his time building a reputation on there, and charming clueless girls online till I had nudes from them

Some lows, some highs. Sup Forums might like it.

It was pretty much picture related
just change the black guy to an indian kid and no one getting aids at the end

can't make a movie about something that never happened.

I didn't go out like at all during my childhood. I spent my time playing with toys and the computer because I didn't even have a nintendo. Only child too.

I'm somehow not a virgin though. Suck it loser virgins that socialize but still havent gotten their dick wet hahaha

>alcoholic father who beat me
>bullied at school
>a few friends who i regularly hung out with
>depressed, overweight and ugly
>spent most of my time reading and playing video games, but had some great times with friends and a number of genuinely hilarious situations

7.5/10, would watch

Actually my coming of age was radical, I went to a lot of parties, drank a lot with my friends, got up to hijinks.

The problems didn't start until I actually was arrived at age.

>becoming the mascot for some forums by being a banterlord able to waste too much of his time building a reputation on there, and charming clueless girls online till I had nudes from them
2 things
what forums?
and post them

It would be a tragic comedy
Like it would follow all the sterotypical beats but right when it hit the finale and was supposed to resolve into a happy ending, it just wouldn't

I always feel like my life would be better as the side-character in someone else's story

>watching my grades sink from "we have the potential to send you off to Polytechniques (french MIT, sort of), to "eh, take this university and be happy about it"
This happened to me because I stopped giving a shit

Thank you for the curiosity, but I daresay I won't oblige.

For me anywas, coming of age refers to the ages from 13 to 18, and believe me, but then I was pretty dumb with this internet thing. So needless to say but I used usernames with which it would be very easy to track me.

Plus I self-aggrandized a bunch. Those were small forums, basically the only ones in which you're ever able to glow from the crowd, so I was like the mascot for 15 people or so. Not impressive.

And like I say, I wasn't even the funniest of them, the most literate of them, or anything, but merely the one who could be online most.

>A really extroverted kid getting bullied into submission to the point where he's afraid to talk to people and develops imaginary friends that he keeps until he's 17.
>Parents join in on it too
>Spends the whole year trying to fix himself and become extroverted again
>Finally make friends and keep them for 2 years
>All disappear and gf/best friend leaves.
>Suicide.

Mine was because I realized that I didn't want to be anyone's monkey, there only to be smart and appreciated for his work, but never his temperament.

So I don't know why but I screwed myself over a lot by figuring "if I'm never going to get people to like me as a friend or as a person or as a love interest, why bother trying to get people to appreciate me for my school degrees".

So in other words did lose focus too.
Twas a dumb decision.

>imaginary friend
I partially might have done this, but I mean by talking with myself, to the point that the person I must've had the most conversations while in HS must've been with myself.

But at the time I was telling myself that I was having a nice little chat with God.

Honestly it's pretty thrilling to talk with yourself.

Never really had to imagine an imaginary friend to go along with it.

>inb4 fedoras posting ">God >not imaginary friend"

Kings of Summer was underrated. It should have been a hit

Missed Opportunities: The Film

I'M A MECHANICAL MAN

A group of friends meet online and slowly start to form relationships through their online experiences. Eventually they are brought together in real life when one of their gang gets cancer and they have to finally deal with the real world.

...

Was a really weird kid. Thought I could talk to plants and shit.So probably pretty fucking sad and embarassing.

That kid was literally me, intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

That's not Hoshino though

>spend years getting picked on by other black kids for not being black enough
>make friends with suburban white and asian kids because i have more in common
>have anime spergs in class with other nerds
>eventually end up in college

sounds boring af

I would need to have a coming-of-age in real life first.

You forgot
>spend hours a day on a website whose userbase thinks you're either a criminal or an uncle tom

>drunk abusive father
>submissive sad mother
>tried to kill myself when I was 15

If you can't handle the banter on Sup Forums, you don't deserve to be here.

change real world to "RL" and that's basically the tagline to the movie

>this thread
Aren't you supposed to learn from your past and become a better man at the end of the story, though? Isn't that what coming-of-age stories are all about?

Coming of age signifies the loss of innocence and entrance into maturity - a bittersweet experience we all undergo. The coming of age of a lot 4channers is overwhelmingly bitter. The experience is a gradual realisation and disappointment. It's protracted into late teens and ends in complaining about women on /r9k/. 3/10. Mediocre plot, unlikable characters.
