How are teens portrayed in the media? Unfairly. Teens are like any other group. If a few are being stupid, then society groups all teens into the same group. Most teens will do what is right. Most are motivated to be better citizens and enhance the community in which they live.

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?

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.
