It's stereotypical and lazy.

I agree, teenagers/young people are constantly vilified.
Let's show the positive.

It's actually a scarily accurate picture of my own teens!

Well, my youngest isnt into hoodies, but my eldest lives in them and they are both fairly well welded to the sofa (when not on their consoles!)
and instead of stomachs, it would appear there is some sort of bottomless pit contained with them. If dinner is late, I fear I may get eaten Grin

what do your own teenagers look like?

Mine don't. But I once suggested they didn't fight either and was accused of being a liar. So hey.

Oh ha. But I'm sick of this stereotype. Even when s1 was in hospital in some pain the consultant made cheap gags about teenage boys grunting.

Wouldn't accept it about girls.

I suggest lay on bed playing PS4 with headset on eating jaffa cakes surrounded by dirty undercrackers and crockery.

JeanSeberg · 24/01/2014 06:46

I agree with DrNick, hundreds more positive examples to choose from.

meditrina · 24/01/2014 06:45

I suggest "glued to a screen". Plus empty Pringles tubes.

What do you suggest instead? Studious and revising?

neiljames77 · 24/01/2014 06:42

I don't think it's accurate either. The arm rest would have empty glasses and chocolate wrappers on it.
