All media is representative of reality. They are composed to provide an artifical version of real life and everything that goes on around us. Every form of media is a respresentation of someone's view on life, put into such a way that an audience can understand and comprehend it.
Teenagers are always represented in the media and as a result, they are actually percieved how they are represented (rowdy, loud and slightly menacing). However, they can also be shown as being quite compassionate and sensitive depending on the medium they are represented in.
Glossy magazines are a good example of promoting negative representation, filled with only the bad side of celebrities.
