when i think about how teens are portrayed i mainly think about cool. when you see a teenager on tv or anywhere in the media they try to make them look cool, or they make them fit in with the trend at that time. Alot of the time its even a new trend or style that they want to show to either make money or to produce an image that they really want teens to follow. when they produce that image alot of people will follow because well why not, its cool right. in a way i think thats wrong because when they change the trend, teens become portrayed alot differently then how they really are, it can make things worse for us.
