TV Representation Of Young People

We feel that recently there have been many Teen Dramas and  that have shown a variety of different representations of Young People.

Examples we can use:

SKINS - Skins is a BAFTA award-winning British teen drama that follows a group of teenagers in Bristol through the two years of college Its controversial storylines have explored issues such as 

dysfunctional famalies, mental illness, adolescent sexuality, substance abuse and death.

THE INBETWEENERS - the show follows the life of suburban teenager Will and three of his friends at the fictional Rudge Park Comprehensive. The exploits of four friends, who are socially only marginally above what one of them calls "the freaks", are presented as they grow from their late teen years into adults and as they go on their quest, usually unsuccessfully, for such grown up things as beer and sex.
