representation is the end result of a stereotype. a stereotype is a generlisation of a certain group of people. also to put people into catagories due to there apperance, race, language and so on. certain examples of representation are :Jocks - jocks are seen to be represented by being well built teenagers, good looking, usually rich or somewhat wealthy, and very poppular. jocks usually have the same dress code so they easily are recognisable by the veiwers and stand out from the rest of the school/college, they usually all have their school/colleges football jersy on all the time. a good example of a jock is OZ from america pie.
Virgins- Virgins are usually represented by being the smallest and weiredest kids in the school/college. they are usally obssessed with girls and sex. Virgins always fall into different catagoriese in representation, such as: nerds, wannabes, weirdos and fat guys. a good example of a virgin in a teen film is Jim from american pie.
Black guy- The black guy is usally a jock or a very poppular person in teen films. they are represented by talking in an street accent, dressing ghetto or thug like, and talking with slang. they also usally have similar catch phrases in all teen films.a good example of a typical black guy in a teen film is Marlon Wayans from scary movie 2.
in teen films i dislike the slut/cheerleader stereotype due to them normally being really nasty and being extreamly bitchy. i do however like the typial black guy and jock stereotype because they are usally funny and make very stupid decisions.
