British teens presented in a good way?
I don't believe that teenagers are presented in a good way because of the fact that when i was searching for good things, it was very limited.
Teenagers are often seen as reckless and often seen as irresponsible .Regularly we view examples of some teenagers being involved in stabbings and countless numbers of teen pregnancy being on the rise.

However these teenagers are seen as more educationally aware and more focused on there future instead of street crime and rebellious ways.I believe that is is somewhat the reality of most teens but the news tends to lean towards the bad side of teen life and so changing the collective identity.
The dominant representations are usually the fact that the older generation think of teenagers as uncontrollable and so they just assume that all news should be based on that on characterization of teenagers as a whole.More over the whole notion of collective identity is moronically based on the fact that teenagers have been given a particular persona that they have been given by the media as childish and out of control.How could we as a society ever progress if teenagers aren't actually seen as responsible beings.In contrary, the way some teenagers act today he news is partly due to the fact that some group of teens do the stabbing were here on tv and some are the cause of the commotion we hear on the news.
The collective identity of teens are seen through the way the media portrays them as delinquents, even on British shows like Waterloo road and skins, teens are repeatedly viewed as unsteady, irresponsible children who 'just want to have fun'.
However shows like these are only produced because writers feel that many teens can 'connect' to these sort of things e.g drug abuse and sexually out of control behavior.
Teens aren't usually like this in reality and to lean away from the stereotypical way they are portrayed in the media.For example black teen boys are usually associated with knife crime and gang related incidents on the news.Because of the news, people now dont stop to think of other issues that could be contributing to these small group of teens on the news.
