Very little has involved the views of the young people themselves, "boys and girls who casually pick fights, have sex and keep the emergency services fully occupied." If this is the interpretation America has received from the British media, what are the views of young people?
76% of reporting of young people is negative.
Only 12% of crime is committed by young people.
39% of adults are unaware of the positive things young people do.
Nearly 750 young people completed an online poll for the British Youth Council (BYC)nd YouthNet - 80% believed unfair portrayal in the media led to strained relations with older generations.
Stereotyping is a huge problem here in the UK
