Hello my fellow classmates! My name is Trice. This is my project two podcast and script on the topic of teenage life in movies and shows. By checking out my podcast and script you will be informed on how movies and shows often times portray the life of teenagers falsely. In my podcast I will identify and explain how movies are falsely portraying real life teenagers and the issues of this. It is commonly seen that teenage characters in movies are reckless being involved with the trouble of doing substances like smoking and drinking. Through my research from Galileo I use evidence from scholarly sources that will back my identification and explanation on the issues. My research will show that this stereotype depiction gives a bad look for adolescents. I hope to inform other teenagers and other groups people that most teenagers in real life only act and do half of what teenage characters in movies do. I hope that you will tune in to understand. Thank You!
