Fifteen (novel) Fifteen is a juvenile fiction novel written by Beverly Cleary. It was first published in 1956. It chronicles the perspective of a teenage girl entering her first romantic relationship. The book captures the innocent spirit of life in the 1950s, both through the playfully light storyline and the casual references to convertibles, sweaters, "meeting boys", and soda shops. Regardless, the book remains in print today because its overall theme of difficult adolescent feelings still connects with young readers.

The result is a bleak and often humorous dark comedy about Canadian corporate culture.

My Generation (2000 film) My Generation is a 2000 film by documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple that looks at the links between young people who attended the original 1969 Woodstock music festival and those who attended the 1994 and 1999 Woodstock festivities.

The film features performances by such acts as Joe Cocker, Blues Traveler, DMX, and Limp Bizkit. "My Generation" premiered as a work-in-progress at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival.
