Throughout UK Drama, teenagers are represented in ways where the common ideology of teenagers is shown. They are shown as secretive, stressed and often rude people.
Some UK TV Drama shows include, Eastenders E20, Skins, Misfits and The Inbetweeners.
Representation of Teenagers –
Teenagers are represented throughout UK TV in many different ways. I have come to find that there are assorted types of representations when it comes to teenagers. By looking at the UK Tribes website. I found that the representation of teenagers are put into different categories of all in which I am very familiar with. Some sets which teenagers are known from are chavs, Emos, street rats, skaters, ravers, geeks and hipsters. For example there are mainstream, urban, alternative and hipsters, all of which represent their own styles and ways of living. I believe teenagers are recognised by teenagers through these categories. In most UK TV Drama shows like Eastenders E20, Skins and The Inbetweeners , we are presented with a selection of teenagers who all have different origins, backgrounds and ways of living. This denotes that the teenagers (aimed audience) who watch these programmes will automatically recognise what these teenagers represent and where they come from. I think that by using this idea of representation draws more attention to the show and keep its audience engaged.
