The document discusses representations of teenagers in media. It notes that teenagers are often negatively portrayed as troublesome partiers who drink, do drugs, and engage in criminal behavior ("youth-as-trouble"). However, the author chooses to provide an alternative representation in their magazine by portraying teenagers as enjoying the innocent fun of childhood in a non-sexual way ("youth-as-fun"). The magazine aims to promote fun and youthful aspects of staying young rather than negative stereotypes. It is modeled after the magazine "Smash Hits" which also positively portrayed pop stars and teenagers.
