WAYNE ROONEY - BEFORE

Respresentation - teenagers

INTRODUCTION:
I have chosen this social group becasue adults always think we are thugs amd that we all carry knives. in the media you hear a lot about teenagers and that they are all thugs going around stabbing people.

SECTION 1-TELEVISION:

 Fatboy from eastenders would be seen as a stereotype because he is young and he talks in slang.
An adult who doesn't really like teengares would instanly think that Fatboy is a stereotype because he wears a hoodie and talks in slang but he is not a bad person.

SECTION 2-FILM:

Shank is a youth based action film set in a decaying futer in london. Its is about a boy called Junior (Kedar Williams-Stirling) and his brother Rager (Ashley 'Bashy' Thomas) and there crew the Paper Chaserz, Kickz (Adam Deacon), Sweat Boy and Craze (Michael Socha) trying to steal a truck full of muncheies (food) but things dont go to plan when the Souljahs get involed.
In this movie it signifies that teenangers are violent criminals they carry knives and go looking around for trouble killing and fighting.

SECTION 3: NEWS: London Riots

this news article shows that thousands of teenagers all over london  being violent, looting shops setting fire o shops and destroying the community. There were riots in Croydon, Brixton, Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham and Bristol. These London riots shows a typical stereotype towards teenagers its shows the negative attidude towards the community and the police.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14439970.

SECTION 4:CONCLUSION
I think in general adults have a strong view on that teenagers are criminals and that they all wear hoodies and carry weapons like knives, dogs, baseball bats, guns and etc. Adults think like this becasue of what they see in movies and what they hear in media. In the media we hear lots about teenage muggings teenagers getting stabbed and riots it then makes them feel that all teenagers are like that but most are not. In movies we see lots of stereo types in films like Kidulthood, Adulthood, Shank, Anuvahood and Attack the block. On TV see we see teenagers shown as stereotypes in Eastenders, Hollyoaks, Inbetweeners, Skins and Waterloo road
