Representation of 3 television dramas which include teenagers.
Skins
Skins is a British teen drama that follows the lives of a group of teenagers in Bristol, South West England, through the two years of sixth form. Its controversial storylines have explored issues such as dysfunctional families, mental illness (such as eating disorders), adolescent sexuality, substance abuse and death.
The typical clothing for the males on the show is:
Nick: Nick wears reds, greens, purples and blue simple basic tshirts, very plain and simple.
Luke: Smart clothing, polos, shirts, chinos and brogues/loafers.
Alo: Mix matched, doesn't care how he looks, mainly outrageous shirts. To represent his personality.
For the girls:
Mini: Very stylish, designer, chunky jewellry, etc..
Liv: Tacky, cheap clothing
Grace: Very girly and pretty
All of the characters have their own indivdual style, to represent their personalitys and to represent their care free lifestyle. The behaviour of the characters is very rebellious, drugs are usually involved in some way. We never get to see the parents as much, but we know that most of the teenage characters have a bad relationship with their parents and usually rebel against their will.
Gossip Girl
'Gossip Girl is an American teen drama television series based on the book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The series was created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and premiered on The CW on September 19, 2007. Narrated by the omniscient blogger "Gossip Girl", voiced by Kristen Bell, the series revolves around the lives of privileged young adults on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City.'
The typical clothing that is worn in this teen drama is very stylish, and glamourous, as most of the characters are very rich, as part of the higher class. The behaviour of some of the girls is very 'bitchy', and can't seem to keep problems and issues to themselves, and can't sort issues out.
