Negative Stereotypes of Young People
http://www.premieryouthwork.com/Past-Issues/2014/May-2014/Negative-Stereotypes-of-Young-People
For many young people it became clear that the negative stereotypes
which they are faced with in the media such as magazines, television
and newspapers can have affects on their everyday life and their
chances of gaining employment.
Although each person is different it became clear that in the
media there is a few wide and exaggerated categories in which
the media attempts to place each person within.
The Annoyance
‘Why do young people gravitate towards such ‘annoying’
activities? They are always loud – like skateboarding – or public
– like hanging around outside. If only they would sit indoors and
be quiet.’
The binge drinker or drug addict
‘Young people drinking moderately or being vaguely sensible
about their life choices? Pah! As if. All of them drink way too
much, have no boundaries, and want to flitter all of their
parent’s hard-earned wages away on class A drugs.’
The drain on society
‘The reason behind the huge youth unemployment figures is
simple: young people can’t be bothered. They are lazy and
aren’t applying for the millions of jobs out there. If they would
just try as hard as everyone else, there wouldn’t be a
problem!’
The entrepreneurial go-getter
‘Young people being proactive and making their own
opportunities? We are suspicious. Stick them on the Junior
Apprentice and make them seem as silly and as arrogant as
possible. That will prevent any young people out there getting any
delusions of grandeur.
The exceptional super-achiever
‘Finally! A young person doing something truly exceptional.
Let’s put them on a pedestal and raise them so high above
the rest of their peers that their greatness will be completely
unattainable to the average teen. That way everybody else
will feel distinctly average and unexceptional.’
