I feel that teens are portrayed as more than what we are. People act like teenagers are such a pain and put of control. Yes, some people are, but not everyone. It isn't fair to us regular kids. All teens are labeled dumb and reckless. Teenagers are always doing something wrong in movies and t.v. shows. Teens are always having sex or doing drugs. When actually us teens are just stressing over high schools and trying not to get pimples.

          Teenagers are portrayed differently according to race. Black people are always ghetto, Chinese People are always Smart, White people are always rich, and all Spanish people all speak Spanish. The sad part about all these stereotypes is that teens hear this and think that that is the way they have to act. Just because someone expects you to act a certain way, doesn't mean you should give them the satisfaction of letting them judge you. This is what is wrong with the world. People can never stop judging. People don't handle knowing someone is different or can be different. Teens find it easier to just go with the crowd than be different because that is how we are stereotyped. Anyone different is a loser.

          Teenagers in movies and t.v. shows have a lot of influence on little kids. They see that behavior and think that when they get older, that is how they're supposed to act. This is how bullying and peer pressure occurs. People don't realize what a big influence teenagers are on little kids. We are their present and they are our future.
