It shows a group of people where they are in control.
They are more in the olden times.
The dress sense is more covered up and frilly and dull.
The youth back then didn’t do much bad stuff and the
consequence would be a weak punishment (detention).
This shows that the teenagers are
more free.
More modern.
The dress sense has changed, for
Example Trackkies and short
clothing.
The youth right now would be very
rebellious
and the punishment would be
severe
(jail).

3. The Goonies (1985)

Mean Girls (2004)

This is based on a group of girls.
You have lots of different hierarchy
and this shows us that they are
Segregated and this would show a
true portrayal of teenagers.
This would show a negative
portrayal of girls.
This is mainly based on a mix of personalities, for
example
The fat one, the popular one, the clever one, the
rude one, etc.
This would show a positive portrayal of boys
because they helped people at the end.
