Given the prominence of schoolgirls in the 2020-2021 protests in Thailand, this thesis examines media representations of rebellious schoolgirls. On the screen, the thesis explores the schoolgirl characters in Hormones: The Series (2013-15), Bad Genius (2017), Girl from Nowhere (2018; 2021), and Get Rich (2023). On the street, it analyzes protest campaigns organized by Bad Student. This thesis argues that the representations of schoolgirls advocating for political change embody the dual meanings of “revolting” – ongoing defiance and something upsetting or offensive. Positioned as ideal agents of political change, schoolgirls represent the hopeful potential to challenge Thailand’s patriarchal political establishment. However, as this glorification comes from the perceived harmlessness of girlhood, they are expected to curb their rebellion to fit traditional ideals of adolescent femininity. It also argues that media has blurred the boundary between politics on the street and screen: teen media shapes student activism for youth and vice versa.
