Im looking for a movie where a teenager or kid shows an intense passion or talent for a hobby like art or music, that soon becomes resentment in their later years due to how adults around them exploited their talents, or through unhealthy habits/mindsets that eventually makes them hate what they used to love.

Whiplash is the obvious answer I think.
