Teens are represented as “violent murders” according o the online BBC news reports since the year 2008. They report over 70 teens had been “violently murdered” in 2008 between the age groups of 10-19. This portrays teens as having a brutally corrupted mind. “The capital saw a significant rise in 2007 when 26 youngsters were killed, up from a stable average of 17 a year since 2000”. “This year, the figure stands at 29, most of whom were stabbed”.

The fact they have nominations for a specific age group. (Teens 12-17) portrays them to be more than just people with violent natures. This is the complete opposite of the above as it shows teens as successful and credible for whatever it is that they may have done. This is also aimed at the public and not just those who are famous etc. Therefore gives out a positive image of teens in the news – as part of the BBC Teen awards.
