How are teenagers portrayed in the media? They are portrayed as text-messaging, music lovers who care mostly about entertainment and shopping, who love to spend money and have no concern about the problems of the world. They also tend to be seen as victims or perpetrators of violence. While many are intrigued by the hip-hop lifestyle, I think they know that that's only an image and don't really want to live like that. They do want to make a difference in the world, and most don't want to be seen as a stereotype.

That is so true. We often think that they have no depth at all. It is nice when they surprise us!

What do we expect of our teens? People respond to how they are treated. If we dismiss teens they will dismiss us.
