Teens can often be misinterpreted in the media. New television shows and magazines are portraying teens to often be out of control and wild . For example, the popular UK television series, Skins.
The series, broadcasted in the UK, portrays teens in the show as out of control, wild, using hard drugs and sexually active. While some teens are like this, the majority are not. It also shows that teens are reckless and cannot make right decisions or they do not know right from wrong while this is inaccurate, in fact at the age of a teenager, is when most of us starts making major life decisions such as what we're gonna do for the rest of our lives and what University we wish to attend. Also, when adults tend to watch these shows they instantly classify all teens like this which could be potentially bad as, say a young responsible teen applied for a job but the Boss viewed skins and instantly classified her as 'reckless' and 'irresponsible' and not grant her the job. I believe people need to really meet a teen before simply putting them all in one big group classifying them as reckless.
