Research 2

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hoodies-louts-scum-how-media-demonises-teenagers-1643964.html

For 'Research 2' I have typed into Google 'Teenagers in the media' and thi was the first result. This is an artice on the independednt website about how teenagers in the media, which i found to be appropriate as this is what I am studying. I was surprised by the statistics in this article, for example the word 'feral' has been used to describe teenagers 96 times. Other phrases include 'scum', 'yobs', 'sick' 'inhuman' which I believe is slightly harsh as these words are quite extreme, but this is how the media represents teenagers.
