Games publisher Electronic Arts has announced plans to hold a two-week exhibition to celebrate the launch of its latest PC game, The Sims Life Stories.

The event, which will begin March 1, will feature the art of the teen advice story alongside present day examples of teen conundrums from EA's game.

A spokesperson from EA said, "The Sims Life Stories Exhibition is a world first project and has been created following unprecedented access into the world of teen magazines. The exhibition will be split into five broad themes and will compare and contrast the advice, the fashion, the people and the issues faced by teenagers through the decades. The real topics of discussion and debate that have graced common rooms, park benches and bedrooms throughout the UK for the last few decades will be presented to the public this March."

The subjects explored at the exhibition are:-

1. Friendship – Dealing with jealousy and arguing
‘Will Lisa and Sarah survive the New Years Party from Hell’ Blue Jeans, 1991
2. Love - Exploring everything from boyfriends to broken hearts via flirting and cheating
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have done that Ginny’…‘It takes two to make a kiss…’
3. Appearance / Fashion– dressing up, weight loss and gain and general self esteem
‘Fit for nothing - is exercise the answer to getting a date’ Blue Jeans, 1990
4. School to Jobs – Growing up and taking on responsibility
‘Since I’d left school, I hadn’t been able to get a job. I’d spent more time in the job centre than my home…’ Patches, 1982
5. Family – sibling rivalry and parents
‘Having left the orphanage under a care order because of a fight I’d been in, I was living with foster parents…but I just didn’t fit in. In a temper I’d even smashed up Mrs Grant’s favourite flower bed…’ Patches, 1982

The event will run from March 1 to March 14 at London's Proud Galleries.
