Look at the pressure to belong
Consider whether the protagonist wants acceptance from peers, freedom from a family expectation, or confidence in a new relationship. A coming-of-age conflict can overlap with romance or family drama without being limited to either. Read for whose approval matters and what the character might give up to obtain it.
Does the category mean every character is a teenager?
No. The source category covers teen and young-adult stories, and individual casts and settings vary. It is not a verified age record for each character or a viewing recommendation for a particular age group. Use the synopsis and platform guidance for those decisions.
