Obviously there are many movies about young people experiencing personal growth that helps them develop into adulthood, but I was wondering if there are any movies about young characters who aren’t able to overcome the challenges they face or are failed by their role models, leaving them unprepared for the adult world.

The only one I could think of was Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight, but I feel like there have to be more.
