Do you think teenagers are portrayed fairly by the media?

I need some feedback for an essay. Let me know your thoughts.Do you think teenagers are portrayed fairly by the media?
Probably not. It's a little difficult to get a fair reading on those under 18, because often times they don't express themselves well in interview situations. So it's easy to depend on statistics, which can lead to stereotypes, which can lead to problems.Do you think teenagers are portrayed fairly by the media?
Teenagers portrayed like monkeys to be studied by media. Confusion easily understood. Media are alien agents of Inner Space/Control, teenagers are youth/Outer World, must seem threatening and strange to living-dead in media...
only when they are shown drinking/using drugs, promoting violence and having sex
Yes, all teenagers are drug addicts, right? Well at least I was
