Teenagers Kick Back at the Media
Why is it that so many youths are tarred with exactly the same hooded brush? Is it because we really are just young hoodlums, terrorising pensioners and getting pregnant? Or is it because the media feels intimidated by our outstanding success'? The youth of today are more intelligent than ever before in history, with illiteracy rates amongst teenagers at just below 2%. Schemes like the Diana Awards and the Duke of Edinburgh Award display the courageous attitudes we possess as well as the ability to achieve feats of physical brilliance. So why, despite all of this, are we still deprived of the gratitude we deserve from the media?
