Teen Representation

     Why are teens represented to be always sad and dark people? In reality, there are very few who actually are. Yes, people may have problems and have their sad days, but it is a part of life. Adults get sad sometimes too, teens just may show it more. Teens often also make problems larger than they need to be, and exaggerate reality much further than necessary. Some do it for the attention, but others do it because they may be searching for help, or advice. If you make the problem larger, then maybe someone will start to care and help, versus if it seems like something small. Teens may have smaller/less problems then adults, but as a ‘child’, small problems can seem to be the end of the world. Teens are also seen as rebellious, when majority of them are not. If the teen gets a tattoo for example, they often are not doing it for the attention or a chance to go against the parent/guardian, they are doing it because they have a passion for something and often are aloud. This is the same with piercings. Although many people are getting different kinds of piercings, it is a way to be different and make a statement, not rebel. Adults get tattoos and piercings too as well as make bad decisions but everyone is human and everyone makes mistakes.
