The idea that teenagers are curious about sex is reinforced through the over the sholder shot used when he is looking at the older woman getting dressed through the window over the road. The shot is hand held so that the audience can have the same experience as the teenage main character. The following close up shot shows a lack of expression suggesting that this is routine and he has become disaffected by the image. This conforms to the stereotype that teenagers' lives are surrounded by sex and it plays a big part of their life.
The relationship between the brother and the sister backs up the stereotype, this is because the brother looks out for the sister. This is expressed in the camera angles, they show a high shot looking down on the sister from his point of view showing he has the power to let her in without getting caught by what we assume as their dad. We also see a low shot to back this up, the low shot is also from her point of view allowing the audience to really feel the realism of this happening.
