Mindless and Maniacal, Is This Truly the Life of an Adolescent?
Parties, drugs and alcohol, the vital ingredients for the perfect recipe to create teenage recklessness. Well done Australia. Once again you’ve molded and influenced a toxic depiction of innocents through the media.
We adolescents, as a whole, have become victims of a so called ‘party animal’ reputation forced upon us. Simply contemplate any high school movie or mere news story about teenagers and their message will scream ‘TEENAGERS ARE OUT OF CONTROL’ in subliminal bold. Is this continuous cycle of anti-teen bias what you really want to see in your everyday life? Of course not!

Just like the Romans watching the gladiatorial games, they know such lies are bad but it’s just so entertaining. Unfortunately no consideration for the innocent victims is acknowledged. The ludicrous insults thrown at the youth are cruel and destructive. Would it be so crazy to make a movie to inspire a nation with teenagers in it? Or even write an article about the good doers and hardworking juveniles? Of course the media would never consider this, for it does not bring those glorious ratings that fictitious stories about teenagers so called reckless and disordered behaviours do. But if we as a society continue going down this path of destruction, the consequences will become far
