Thirteen vs. Adrian Mole

In the book and the film there are some similaries and diferences.Adrian and Tracy are both thirteen years old and they live with their families in a house. They have a lot of problems who make them very unhappy.

Adrian is worried about the spots in his face, and he thinks that it is his mum's fault because she never gives him vitamins. Tracy never wants to eat something beacuse she thinks she is too fat and she wants to be beautiful like her friend Evie.

Adrian is in love with Pandora, but she goes out with Adrian's best friend Nigel, so he is not a very good friend because he knows that Adrian is in love with her. Tracy has got some more problems, she wants to be like Evie and started to smoke, to drink and to take drugs. When she doesn't feel very well she hurts herself.

Tracy's and Adrian's parents get a divorce and Tracy and Adrian don't like the new partner.

Tracy lives with her brother, mother and her boyfriend, and her father goes away, in Adrian's story his mother goes away with an other man and he must stay with his father at home.

At the begining of the film, some people laugh at Tracy because she doesn't wear very beautiful clothes, and then the people respect her because she was popular and has new cool friends and clothes. But at the end of the film, Tracy realized that Evie isn't a very good friend and that she was very unfair to his old friends. So she changes and was happy again.

Adrian, like Tracy, was bullied at school by a boy called Barry Kent. He always hits him and wants his money. But at the end, because his grandmother helps him, Barry Kent has stopped and he was happy. His mother comes back home to his father and they were happy. Adrian goes out with Pandora for a long time.
