My sample size of one? Its right there infront of everyone! They have people killing family members and daughters/sons, but they seem more interested in making teens all look like yobs.
And no the media doesnt reflect everyone.
Eg. Does everyone give a **** about Katie Price? Most people arent, but she's always on the news/magazines/newspapers.

Yes but tales of teens undergoing the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme or going shopping for the local oaps dont figure highly in the media's agenda do they?
They feel that shock and horror stories preying on peoples fears are the best way to increase circulation, or get more viewers.
Exams are getting easier. But then again why shouldnt they? the pressures heaped onto teenagers now are increasing.
