There's much more to student life than music and booty-shaking.

In fact, student activism is alive and well among young people in America.

Another example is the protest for Jena 6. Read documents from the Jena 6 case.

I don't think the media even portrays the youth. IF they present their skewed view of how "kids" are, it is either false or represents a small percentage of youth. My main criticism deals with the music that is polluting our radio waves. This so-called "hip hop," or all modern-day pop for that matter, forces people to believe we're all about sex, money, drugs, gangs, and drama. Unfortunately, this misrepresentation caused poets like Bomani Armah to make videos like "Read a Book." It supposedly teaches (mainstream) hip-hop fans "vital" lessons of life through profanity, vulgar images, and overall whack music. If you really feel teens need to be protrayed accurately, PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT VIDEOS LIKE THESE!!
