My research

So far i have showed diffrent examples of teenagers in the media and how they are repsented, i have showed both views for example i used the army and an article about teenagers and how they are repsented in the media.
I feel this week i should look at bad repsentations, so for my first piece of research this week i have took a diffrent approach i searched in google catoon repsentations of teenagers i found this :http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/cartoonists/gri/lowres/grin454l.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/directory/t/teenagers.asp&usg=__R9BQBZpEcRqBUYonR1WwYBSilpY=&h=400&w=398&sz=30&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=7k11MNwl6sWsnM:&tbnh=141&tbnw=140&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcartoon%2Bof%2Bteenagers%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1362%26bih%3D562%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=396&vpy=63&dur=7899&hovh=225&hovw=224&tx=182&ty=169&ei=jK_NTOFpwojhBqTDzNwM&oei=jK_NTOFpwojhBqTDzNwM&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0
This shows the image painted by people of teenagers.
For my second piece of research i have decided to look at the learning programhttp://www.channel4learning.com/support/programmenotes/micro/sexliessoaps/prog2_outline.html
this shows how teenagers are repsented in the media through soaps such as emmerdale.

This week i have decided to focas on figures of knife/gun and crime iin general in England involving teenagers.

29th December 2008 - New Knife Crime Statistics have today been released by the Conservative Party

The only problem with these figures is that they may be old, i hope to improve these in later weeks of research.

Research.

This week i have decided to take a look into what the newspapers say about teenagers and there choices, for my fist piece of research this week i have looked at a article from the independent Its name is Behind the stereotypes,http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/behind-the-stereotypes-the-shocking-truth-about-teenagers-421295.html. This article shows that not every teenager is the same, and the fact is only a handfull of teenagers are troublesome.

My second piece of research i have done is proving a point of not every teenager troublesome and only caring for themselves, The age you can sign up for the army when you are 16 http://www.army.mod.uk/join/15381.aspx this shows that out of the many of soldiers alot of them are young showing that they care about the country. Doesnt this prove that not all of teenagers are trouble makers.

I looked at another piece of research

For my first piece of research i looked at a scene from waterloo road about gun crime, waterloo road is based around teenagers and the stereotypes in the media. For my second piece of research i will show another clip from waterloo road about dhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9txb4LYEFHorug.
So are teenagers doing a bad thing or just experimenting because they are youngsters?.
