Growing up is hard to do. A tidal wave of angst, embarrassment and unrequited love can all too often leave you locked in your room wailing to Sinead O’Connor.
Persepolis is the autobiographical tale of Marjane Satrapi, sharing her experiences as a young girl coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.
But if you’ve ever seen a coming-of-age classic like The Breakfast Club you’ll know that life doesn’t have to be like that. And with our 5 easy steps, you too can experience a coming of age that is passionate, eventful and Oscar-nominated...
To begin your journey towards enlightenment you must first go off the rails. This can be anything from dying your hair red to running away from home. Whatever it is, it should be something the 'old you' never would have done. Remember, no-one ever came of age watching television.
Phone up your parents and find out what their wishes are. Then deliberately go against all of them. Drink, steal, start fox hunting, find a rebellious niche and really go with it. Later on you’ll be wise enough to realise it was all just youthful stupidity, but you can’t learn from your mistakes until you start making some.
If you want to come of age you have, HAVE to experiment with drugs. But don’t worry, it’s all very simple. You’ll be offered them by your friend Barry, who’s a really bad influence. At first you’ll be hesitant, but Barry’s the persuasive type, and soon enough you’ll be snorting crack pills with the best of them.
There is, however, a strict limit. You’ll never take more than a few hits of something before your 'drug phase' comes to an end. You’ll come out the other side realising that drugs don’t make you cool; they just make you see things. Bad-influence Barry isn’t quite as lucky, and you can expect to see him lining a gutter later on.
