Why are teenagers always sterotyped as a bunch of rowdy "hoodys" who only go out drinking and doing drugs.

The media always discrimenats youth for the things which in fact everyone does when there young. I can pretty safely say everyone when they where young knows of one time or another when they have gone out and got drunk down the park our have "bunked" school. A large majority of people will admit to taking or at least trying illegal drugs at some point in there lifes (only with the exception of David Cameron).

Is this sterio type hear to give us a "common enemy" something which we all can agree is a problem but are they infact any different than us? Of course they aren't they only difference is honestly they are proberly alot smarter than use. The smartest people I know are in fact teenagers, they are constantly teaching me things I never knew.

So is this negative steriotype a good thing or is it going to lead to a national up roar and outrage when these so called "hoodies" become the next government and leaders of all the countries of the world.

I will leave it for you to decided
