DIfferences and similyties between "The best of times" and "Thirteen"

Each movie/book speaks about the difficults that the adolescense takes, it could be a hard age to live, and there are some factors that influence in the behaviour and road to the bad ending.

For example, Chee Seng, firstly was a happy young boy, but since their parents broke, he passed trought such bad things, his history is similar to Trace's one, they went trought the bad way, they left their homework, had discussions with their family, influenced by some bad friend that they just took some issues to them, etc...

But there are differences too, Tracey just got bad influenced because she wanted to be popular and not be  herself anymore. With Chee Seng was different, he saw how his parents broke, while his father was infidel to his mother, he saw how his dog was murdered by a car and then he blamed his friends.
Finally he got influenced by a bad boy because he was alone, without anyone to talk about his problems he went to the bad way and took some problems with the law, and then some sentimentals too. But finally he managed to solve his problems with the help of his beloved familiars.

In the end, both of them seemed to had solved a lot of their problems and it seems that they are going to the good way.
