Young people are always being represented in the media in different ways. The most obvious example would be ' violent teens' as portrayed by television and news papers. But this is not the only example; young people are represented in good and bad ways all over the world.

The Simpson for example stereotypes young people in a negative way such as them being stupid and lazy an example of this is Bart Simpson. But, of course there is a positive stereotypes of  young people such as, Lisa Simpson.

Although there is a balance , most programs tend to stereotypes young people in a negative way such as, them being stupid, aggressive and violent for example South Park, Family Guy and  Two and half men.
