Stereotyping Teenagers
Teenagers can be stereotyped into many different catergories from the chav to the slut. But this is all how the media represents us. Not all teenagers go out every night drink, take drugs, smoke and have sex. Some teenagers are the complete opposite, some teenagers are in between. We are all stereotyped by the media and that puts a bad impression on to us as a teenager. We are generally spilt into two catergories, the thug who smokes drinks and commits crimes for a job and a life. The media shows these guys as peope who will sit on the corner of a street and smoke. The media shows them as people with asbos. Like in Eastenders, we teenagers are shown as someone who is a criminal and always going out and getting drunk. This is perhaps 10% of all teenagers and it doesnt account for the other 90% of teenagers out there, who dont go out and cause havoc. We are also stereotyped into the slut, a player, someone who sleeps around and doesnt care what happens to the person the next day. These people are the people who you see dressed in a low cut top, ass on show to the world. They are the teenagers who welcome the gaze of a greasy middle aged guy leering over them. These people are the people who become parents at 16-17 years old. For women they are also stereotyped blonde and dumb. This goes against what we as teenagers are. Most of us a dont smoke, drink, do drugs, commit crimes or have sex everynight, but the few that do put us in a bad place in the few of others.
