The writer presents young people negatively through their use of language. ’30 youths viciously assaulted a Birkenhead Dad’ this describes young people as bad people.
I do not agree with the statements above because they are wrong and they put the wrong thing in people’s minds so they are scared of teenagers
Adults are scared of teens because society has given them a bad reputation.
Generalisations and stereotypes are damaging society because they are making a Self-fulfilling prophecy.
at one point all these people where teenagers as well so I don’t understand why people say that teens are yobs how would they like it if they were called yobs when they was our age.
Expectations from parents and teachers have an impact on the way you feel.This is a bad thing because it puts a downer on you it makes you feel blue they say stuff about us but if we said stuff about them they would not like it but at the same time it would still be putting a bad reputation on teens.

Albert this looks like a promising response. Please complete your analysis of the word viciously.

Hello Albert,
I agree with Ms Andrews – look up the word ‘visciously’ – what word class does it belong to and what other words do we associate with it?
Why would the writer of this article want to show teenagers in a negative way?
