ReplyDeleteThere are so many different types of teenagers, but typically i would imagine someone who doesnt smile, hates their parents, thinks the whole world is against them and generally doestnt care about anything.

from the media, television shows and films and from personal experience, my brother was a bitch.

mostly in family sitcoms. the teenager is hard to handle and the parents' response is humorous. also in teenage shows, skins etc, no one seems to care about education or a future.
also on the news, the teenagers are always considered as hooligans, the 'youth of today' are always portrayed as being dangerous but i guess there is a good reason what with all the knife crime and stuff.

they want to imitate them because they are considered 'cool'
