Are teenagers portrayed unfairly in the media?
My view on the topic is that teenagers are unfairly represented in the media, as they are commonly shown as violent, disrespectful, unproductive and generally in a negative way. This, unbeknown to many, has a large impact on the lives of most teenagers. Online, I saw a webpage with links to news articles relating to teenagers. 29 out of the 30 links showed stories about teenagers being 'thugs', 'drug overdosing' and 'raving'. This does not, in my opinion, sum up the whole of the teenage community, in a fair, equal way. This misconception of the majority of teenagers leads many people, usually older than ourselves, into having a false view upon the younger generations. Many elderly people and parents of young children feel scared and vulnerable around teenagers and I am not surprised, due to the stereotype the media portrays. I have even found myself smiling at these people, in order to show them that I do not fit the 'thuggish' personality they may believe me to have.
