To this end, a discussion was held with a class of 3rd-year high school students from the Escola Estadual de Uberlândia, using a pre-defined set of questions and sampling two scenes from youth series, one from Euphoria (2019) and the other from Heartstopper (2022), respectively – with the intention of understanding youth through the lens of youth itself. Based on the information gathered during the discussion, this work compares the narratives of both series and the students' unique definition of being young/being an adolescent, in order to understand the extent to which these series represent real young people. Finally, this is initial work on the subject and, although there is a conclusion on the points presented, it does not exhaust everything that still needs to be researched and discussed about representation, identity, and youth.

The study historically reconstructs this subordination, from the influence of the United States in the 1964 dictatorship to the 2016 impeachment and the Lava Jato operation, with impacts on Petrobras. Cases such as the Vale disasters (Mariana and Brumadinho), Lojas Americanas, and Eletrobras illustrate how the logic of dividend maximization intensifies exploitation, inequality, and the loss of sovereignty. The methodology employed is qualitative and exploratory, based on bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and examination of audiovisual materials. The results indicate that Brazil is experiencing a “modernization of dependence,” characterized by financial flows, indebtedness, and institutional capture rather than military occupation. The analysis highlights the need for stronger financial system regulation and the reconstruction of state capacity to address structural inequalities.
