Skins Analysis

 What is the representation of youth?

one of the few representations of youth from the series is portraying their unstable and unruly characters. This representation is developed from their social activity and mischievous behaviour. The colloquial language used by the youths, separates them from the older generation and conforms their identity. The way they dress, emphasise they're unique characters and provides them with a sense of individuality. I think the serious is an exaggerated perspective of one of the images given to youth in today's society.
 
How might s non British audience view this representation?

They may vie w the representation of British youth as rebellious, unruly teenagers with no sense of civilization. There is not much respect shown between families which effectively causes conflict and arguments.

Is this representation realistic?

The representing is partially realistic because it includes some accurate behaviour and activity that youth carry out but is not completely accurate as it is overly exaggerated. And the representation isn't realistic in terms that, that is not how youth are generally potrayed or the only image that they maintain.
