The problem with Facebook is that it often puts people in bad situations often leading to suicide, self harm, low self-esteem, being harmed by a predator and not being hired by a company. One huge danger of Facebook is suicide. Facebook allows the freedom of speech to everyone and many people take advantage of this right. It allows bullies to say awful things and turn many people against an individual, destroying their self-esteem. This social network allows people to say things they most likely wouldn't say face to face and this is the big problem, there have been stories of teenagers killing themselves over the things these bullies say to them online.
To Whom It May Concern: Do you want your children and students getting an extra dosage of vulgar language, sexually rated scenarios, and issues that are awful enough to cause depression? In the book The Catcher in the Rye all of these issues are present. Everything from filthy language written on walls, to the purchase of a prostitute, all of this is present in this novel. This book is not helping solve the issues that teenagers are facing in these days. That is why it should be banned from schools across the country.
These stereotypes are what some people class teens into automatically without getting to know them and seeing what their capabilities are. This is very dangerous as if stereotypes are give then the person could see it as an excuse for his or her behavior. In reality a person could just be going through a hard time but in the eyes of others they are showing the characteristics of a particular stereotype. In the media today teens are portrayed in a negative manner for example in a lot of soaps like “Home & Away” there is a bad boy theme at times. This is shown through the introduction of the River Boys gang.
This positions the reader to see the difference and just because Jessica isn’t like ordinary teenagers, she still is not perfect and yet a hero. As Clinton attacks teenagers about the way they dress, her style changed from formal to informal. She attacks teenagers with colloquialism as that is how teenagers talk these

Also, Socs get editorials written about them in the newspaper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next. Greasers, on the other hand, are known as juvenile delinquents because of their appearance and behaviour. When Socs are the ones who usually start the fights. The Socs are always seen as the nice kids just buy the way that they dress but on the inside they are the ones that should be feared and are the true menaces of the society.

Dear Editor, I am writing to complain about the representation of teenagers in the media. Specifically I am referring to the documentary Educating Essex and reviews of the show that appeared in the Daily Mail and The Observer. The Daily Mail describes teenagers to be “ignorant”, “wild” and “scumbags”. This suggests that teenagers are a social menace, who are violent and threatening to others. In particular the word “ignorant” implies that teenagers are clueless and unintelligent.
Due to a lack of stories, the media made ‘mods’ and ‘rockers’ into folk devils, folk devils are groups of people who are associated with moral panics. The media made people categorise themselves into one of the two groups, this helped in creating the violence between the two groups, consequently meaning that both the ‘mods’ and ‘rockers’ were labelled as ‘troublemakers’ by the public. Item A expresses that moral panics can lead to a range or responses by the public, by agents of social control and by the criminals or deviants themselves. The result in the intervention of the mass media created a negative association against the two groups and an unneeded moral panic for the public on crime that, before the mass media created a moral panic, were nothing to worry about. Although the theory does well at explaining the effects of the mass media, it doesn’t explain why and how they create moral panics; despite this, the theory understands the consequences of moral panics.
The ideals that are portrayed through the media are, to me, the most pressing issues today. Through television, radio, magazines, and newspapers, negative messages are being presented to the world's youth. Though some of these media outlets are intended to raise awareness of some problems, most have the opposite effect. Bad behavior, poor body image, drug and alcohol use, lack of morals, and violence is becoming "normal" in society. I have seen, first hand, that high school students are becoming desensitized to things that are truly horrible.
However, it has become mainstream the biased use of the term. Socially constructed stereotypes can have a negative effect on people suffering from OCD. According to the essay "What's So Funny About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" written by Paul Celafu, associate professor in the department of English at Lafayette College in Easton Pennsylvania. He discusses how The illness is portrayed as a joke in the media. "The media, in its recent portrayals of OCD, consistently represents the disorder with levity and humor.
