skins analysis

-what is the representation of youth?

from the episode that we watched there is a definate trend in how youth has been represented, from the episode that we watched you get the sense that youthful people are very troubled and have lots to do with drugs, drink and sex. this was shown throughout and all of these elements add to the story line. each character seems to have difererent story and each and every character seems to be quite troubled in one way or the other, no matter what age they are.

-how might a non british audience view the representation of british youth?

i think that a non british audience would look at this in a very different way and think that every young person would act and behave like this. they also may not understand the comedy or other factors that are quite british.

-from your point of view, is this representation realistic?
