The Negative Representation of Youth
Positive representation of Teenagers in the Media
Teenagers are represented all over the media, some negative and others positive. Although, interestingly enough it is evident some perceive teenagers as reckless, irresponsible, party animals, drug addicts and a threat to society. The older generation is most likely to perceive us in that way, thinking all teenagers are the same, but that is not true at all. Moreover, some teenagers do stand out from the crowd, helping the homeless or just simply helping others around them and bringing positivity into their life. There are those who have been raised well. In some cases it is how we were raised, but in others the people that the teenagers are involved with. Teenagers are hard to crack, each one of us has a story...we cannot assume we know them by simply looking at their exterior. Media demonstrates that inevitable exterior that ends up on the internet for everyone to witness, which people draw their conclusions from. A lot of unexpected things end up on the internet, perhaps people want someone to blame for how the society of today and the media has turned out to be.
