do i think that the way that teenagers are portrayed in the media is accurate? no i dont i think that its accurate. the way that they portray it is more or less makeing what is unique in a person cool, i dont know about you but when something is cool it really quickly becomes un cool because somone screws it up, and then people get made fun of for it later. things very quickly become out of date or old because of cool hunting. cool hunters are constantly looking for "the cool" and when they find "the new cool" they change the image portrayed and thats what people want, they want to be cool, and everyone just follows it and those who dont are out of date people.
