How are teens portrayed in the media?

Often times, I think that teens are portrayed on a need to know basis especially when they are a problem. Not always the best image...

There really are some teens doing good things but like most other groups, people remember and talk about the bad stuff. It's always the visible group of hardheads that get our attention. Somehow, that can't be right. Right?

We think we are protecting our teens by not giving them information to live better. We are hurting them by not telling them the truth.

That's right. It's wrong to use stereotypes for any group, including teens. But somehow the media don't see that.
