How are teenagers represented in teen dramas?

In teen dramas teenagers are seen has ignored, misunderstood, careless , unhappy and dangerous youths. They are represented in a ill-mannered way meaning that hey are represented has as thugs and hooligans.

in this shot of skins series three we see a long shot of the two girls who are teenagers. they shot and their clothing represents them as trouble makers. The location is a pub and for teens like them it a chance for them to be independent and go crazy. this shows them to be irresponsible and loud.

in this shot of skins series three we see and over the shoulder shot of this teenager the shot makes the teenager look intimidating and rude. the hoodie and snap-back makes him look like someone with no respect and like someone with attitude problems. they way he is dressed makes him look like a thug like a '' Gang Banger '' which is what must teens are seen has today. In the shot blocking is used. we can see the boy at the back. this shows that he really isn't important as he can hardly be seen.
