They are about Youth and how kids deal with things happening in their lives.

Both the movie and the drama involve a psychological setting and have absolutely great acting. As different the dealing with the mentally ill is, hope resonates in both.

Even though the setting is completely different, they give off a similar vibe and both movies show emerging friendships between a unlikely group of people.

Both are set in a school environment and friendship plays a big part.
Each has it's one problems, that the characters have to tackle, but they give off a similar vibe.
