Too many times, the media seems to ignore teens except in instances of wrongdoing. Some teens who are postively involved in the community are ignored in the newspapers and television broadcasts. Many teens whom we know personally work hard in school, are involved in sports and care about society, but I don't see those young people in the newspapers and telelvison. I believe that teens are most often viewed negatively in videos. While many of them are very talented, the messages that they deliver can be negative.
Many times teens are viewed as being very social, as they enjoy sharing photos and posting on networking sites. However, we do not see and hear enough of the positive stories or stories that show the complexity of teen life. In a lot ways it is more difficult to be a teenager today than when their parents were teens. There are a lot of pressures to today's youth and the media tends to show an imbalanced picture.
