A CHANCE TO PLAY (1950, 18:05)
General Electric partnered with the National Recreation Association & had The March of Time produce this film to propagate the idea that floodlights were a bulwark against juvenile deliquency.

AS THE TWIG IS BENT… (1943, 10:50)
Classic World War II era scare film demonstrating the crumbling morals of youthful America resulting from the nation’s diversion of attention away from the family unit as it focused upon winning the war.

San Francisco gangland is the subject here, all the ethnic variety of it.

BOY IN COURT (1940, 10:15)
The National Probation and Parole Association produced this film in order to convince the public that Juvenile Court was an enlightened, humane and effective means of dealing with youth crime. Its focus is upon 15-year-old Johnny, who goes straight after stealing cars with his hoodlum friends results in his being sentenced by an avuncular Judge to probation under the tutelage of a kindly probation officer. What wonders church & social services bred in 1940!

LET’S BE GOOD CITIZENS AT SCHOOL (1953, 8:45)
The fifties have become known as the age of conformity, and it may well be that this film made a great contribution towards this age. Imagine Wally of “Leave It To Beaver” indoctrinated by Jack Webb of “Dragnet” and you’ll get the picture of this picture.
OTHER PEOPLE’S PROPERTY (1951, 9:55)

Kelly wants Harry to talk, but Harry won’t, and although this film doesn’t actually come out and tell its young viewers "rat on your friends - an ommission that is an interesting and deliberate lesson in and of itself - it illustrates what forces can come to bear on making that decision, and it repeatedly requires the viewer to ask themselves what they should do in similar circumstances.

Ten year old Tommy’s acting out the worst parts of his parents’ behavior. A social worker helps his Mom come to terms with Tommy’s problem, which is to say that she comes to terms with her own poor familial relations. Before there was “Rebel Without A Cause”, there was much more sober psychodrama.
THAT BOY JOE (1944, 17:27)
It’s World War II America, and while the cat’s are away at war work, the mice will play with their hoodlum friends all the more. But all this mouse play (and a good measure of drinking and smoking) puts little Joe in juvenile court, and boy, does the judge let his parents have it for not taking him to the Boy Scouts or to church to save him from his wastrel ways!
THE BULLY (1952, 10:22)
It is difficult to determine exactly what the message of this film is other than the fact that bullies are dangerous and a fact of life - an in many ways, that is as certain and definite a message as any on this subject, and one with continuing merit. There are kids like Chick in every school in every state in every nation - they almost certainly aren’t as bad at acting as he and the rest of his cronies & victims in this film are, but as anyone who knows school bullying first hand, it may be surrealist theatre, but as Columbine shows, it’s all too real. At least in this performance the target is the class picnic, and Chick’s buddy successfully rats him out.
THE DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN (1955, 21:14)
The New York City Jewish Youth Organization PRIDE OF JUDEA produced this documentary on its successful efforts in assisting the wayward teenage boys of their community.

An intelligent, thought-provoking analysis of how teasing can result in more than simply hurting another person’s feelings, told through the person of Judy, who drops a bottle of perfume, and Jack, whose thoughtless teasing takes on a life of its own, growing and drawing others into it until Judy goes beyond simple embarrassment into a crisis of self-image.
THE OUTSIDER (1951, 11:33)
Susan Jane Smith is a nice, smart, pretty young lady who cannot figure out why she is so alienated from her schoolmates. Her schoolmates ignore her because her aloofness is interpreted as being stuck up. Anyone, especially women, who lived through this period can recognize how well this film captures the heart of this matter, while anyone from anytime and place can learn from this examination of and solution to teen social alienation.
THE SHOW-OFF (1954, 11:03)
A film devoted to the class clowns, pranksters & loud-mouths of the world, seeking to analyze and bring up for discussion the appropriate reaction to such folks & their follies. Speaking as an ex-class clown, fully reformed prankster & got-me-a-bully-pulpit-for-channeling-constructively-my-still-very-loud-mouth, this film goes far in exposing just how far fifties era social problem-solving techniques were, and were not, well met.
THE TROUBLE-MAKER (1959, 11:03)
This is the story about a kid with issues - the kind that don’t get resolved but rather get projected onto others for simple but malicious attention. A quality study of the kinds of real problems that the degree past class clown and prankster brings about.

WHY VANDALISM? (1955, 16:08)
We could also properly subtitle this film “I Was A Teenage Vandal”. “I” is Jeff, who himself might call this film “I Was A Teenager Outsider”. What dirty dishes & households can do to a child are merely symptomatic of the lack of love and attention Jeff gets at home, but what it compels him to do at school during the day and with the malt shop gang at night creates a host of other problems that this film sincerely tries to help solve.
