"the youth are prehibited from speaking as moral and political agents, youth become an empty category inhabited by the desires, fantasies and interest of the adult world"
Cook from skins is put in a jail cell for a crime he says he didnt commit. He tells his lawyer he didn't do it but the lawyer doesn't believe him and isnt willing to help him. Whereas if cook was an adult with money he probably would have been taken more seriously but because he is a teenager who looks like a troublemaker they assume that he is guilty. Therefore he is prehibited from speaking as moral and political agents.
The teenage period for a person is seen as the hardest time of their life. in skins cook is shown to have less importance than his mother, teachers etc. it is over the top in programs like this however this is to try and portray life from their point of view.
"Adolescence is a growth period conductive to alienation due the "betwix & between" nature of the this particular position in lifecourse"
