From looking over a few extracts about the ways in which teens and young people are being represented by the media and how he media are influencing ways in which the society will portray their views on young people. Looking at just the title of an article below you can clearly see the exaggeration and emphasis the media put onto younger people and how they were such a threat to society. Just by looking at the word "Wildest" you can see that they are trying to emphasis that these are the worst generation of teens that have been around, and from this people will read the articles and start to believe and their thoughts will be encouraged to think that they are very unlawful and getting worse.
Another article below show how the media are emphasising how bad they want the teens to be viewed from the constant reffereance to them as the wildones. Another example of how the media portray the teens to be viewed negatively is from the quote from the article below "rioting teenagers". Here they could have just said teenagers but because they're trying to empasis the "wild ones" this was a suitable adjective to put in front. All the media so far that i have found have clearly shown that youths are becoming such a threat to society and getting a lot worse with not a care. All the aritcles are negative and creating fear for society and making them think that they are a threat.
