Stereotypes

A common stereotype that in the media is against teenagers. Often times I find myself a victim of this stereotype that because I'm a teenager that I spend my time causing trouble and breaking the rules. I'm not arguing that this isn't true in some cases but any form of stereotype is unfair because it forces people into general groups that are often negative and do not fit the person. In today's society, media holds very little back when it comes to stereotypes. It's so blatantly obvious that even I find myself letting it go unnoticed while watching T.V. or listening to the radio. With all the stereotypes being portrayed in the media, we need to train ourselves not to be influenced by these stereotypes as they can often be negative and unfair.
