The movie "Save the Last Dance" captures the angst of the teenage years and the complexity and texture of teen relationships. From interracial dating to ganglife and academic success, this film helps narrate a soundtrack of teen life. But it is often a soundtrack lacking in many of the nation's newspapers and broadcast news stations' telecasts. Too often, stories about teens deal with the extremes: gang bangers and Harvard-bound genius students from urban neighborhoods; athletes who excel in some sport and would-be rap stars who worship at the altar of Tupac and Biggie; struggling teens who work two jobs, raise their siblings and visit mom at jail on the weekend; you get the picture.
