Teenagers In The Media

I think it depends on what you look at when you see teenagers in the media. I think most of the teenagers in the media are portrayed unfairly. I think people stereotype teenagers because of some mistakes that we make. But in all reality, everyone makes mistakes. I think its really hypocritical when adults talk about teenagers negatively because thy were one once and the probably did the exact same things.
The other way teenagers are portrayed in the media are as perfect children. like in "happy days" the teenagers don't do anything wrong and if they do, they always fix it. Teenagers are not perfect, but they arnt horrible either. Its very rare to find a show that shows teenagers being teenagers. Digrassi is really the only TV show that i can thing of that almost does that. The only problem with Degrassi is that it seems to over dramatize most situations.
