How teenagers are represented by the Mail Online

Teenage dealer, 17, is jailed for a year for selling MDMA to a schoolgirl, 15, who died after taking the drug on a mountain camping trip

• Shauna Davies, 15, died after being rushed to hospital while out with friends 
• A cause of death is not clear but the 17-year-old admitted selling them MDMA 
• Cwmbran Youth Court heard Shauna's friends used camping trips to take drugs
• The dealer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was handed a one-year term.
• A teenage drug deal has been selling MDMA to a 'princess' schoolgirl and her friends shortly before she collapsed and died on a mountain camping trip.
  Shauna Davies, 15, had been out with friends in Caerphilly, south Wales when she was taken ill - and was pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital.

Here, they are trying to tell the reader that not all teenagers are what they may seem and are doing illegal stuff secretly. You can see this through the way they called the girl a "princess" schoolgirl. By using this language, they made themselves sound very patronizing. They reinforce this with the use of a harmless looking selfie.

Teenagers spend the equivalent of more than 40 full days a year looking at their mobile phones

• This equals two hours and 40 minutes a day, research has discovered
• Children get as stressed losing their phone as they get separating from parents 
• Youngsters from Liverpool clocked up the most time on their phones, with 48 days spent texting and browsing apps.
• It seems teenagers really are addicted to their phones.
  The average teen spends nearly 41 days of the year glued to their mobile – or two hours and 40 minutes a day, research has discovered.
  
  The study of 1,500 parents with teenagers living at home found that youngsters from Liverpool clocked up the most time on their phones, with 48 days spent texting and browsing apps.

• In this article they sound like they are talking for all teenagers, which really isn't the case. Although the article didn't insult teenagers, they tried to imply that all teenagers are lazy and 'glued to their mobiles', which again isn't completely true. They also use a picture where a bunch of teenagers are on their phones sitting next to each other to try a emphasize their point.

Father-of-three, 31, was burned alive when two teenagers threw a flare into his car as he slept in it while waiting to see his children

• Vilson Meshi , 31, died after a marine flare was thrown into his Audi A4 estate
• It caused a 'powerful' blaze which could have burnt as hot as 1,200 degrees
• Keani Hobbs, 18, and a 16-year-old were convicted of Mr Meshi's manslaughter.
• A pair of teenagers have today been found guilty of killing a loving dad in a horror blaze as he slept outside his children's home.

Tragic Vilson Meshi, 31, died after a stolen marine flare was inexplicably thrown into his Audi A4 estate, causing a 'powerful' five-second blaze which could have burnt as hot as 1,200 degrees.

The smoke from the device fatally filled Mr Meshi's vehicle, making it almost impossible to escape the terrifying ordeal. Keani Hobbs, 18, of Basildon and a 16-year-old boy from Camberwell - who cannot be named for legal reasons- were both today convicted of Mr Meshi's manslaughter following a trial at Chelmsford Crown Court. 

In this article what the teenagers did is completely disgusting and so there is no stereotyping. However the picture they put with the article isn't the best and I believe they used this on purpose to try and put a bad image into the readers head. But, I think is this case it is okay as what she did was horrible.

Foolish teenagers are filmed dicing with death as they clamber up 30ft high wet scaffolding in the pouring rain

•  Shocking video shows teenagers climbing up dangerously wet scaffolding
•  Horrified office worker filmed terrifying moment from a nearby building
•  Then climbed back down and 'left looking pleased with themselves'.
• The two unnamed boys were spotted haphazardly climbing the slippery scaffold structure in a Birmingham City centre car park to the amusement of a third boy, who watched from below.
  The group appeared to have walked to the back of a city centre car park specifically to climb the 32ft-high scaffolding structure in the rain on Tuesday afternoon.

• The teenagers in this article are very foolish, however, the way the Daily Mail worded their article made it sound like all teenagers are like this. But then again what the boys did does not give teenagers a good look.

• Why teens are prone to risky behavior: Experts say brain development is NOT to blame, as it's instead driven by a desire to learn about the world

  • Teenagers have a heightened attraction to novel and exciting experiences  
  • This risk-taking behaviour is often guided by the desire to learn about the world
  • Teenage risk taking and the experience gained from it play a role in development
  • And, it doesn't mean they're more likely to suffer from issues like substance use.
  • A new study suggests that the risk-taking behaviour common among teenagers is often guided by the desire to learn about the world.
    This is contrary to a previous theory that argued that teenage risk-taking behaviour is due to a brain deficit resulting in impulsive behaviour. 
    Teenagers have a heightened attraction to new and exciting experiences, and researchers argue that teens who show this tendency alone aren't necessarily more likely to suffer from health issues like substance abuse.

  The article doesn't put teenagers in a negative light but instead the exact opposite. However, the picture they used shows young adults smoking and drinking which not all teenagers do. So, although the article isn't negative, they still sound like they are talking for all teenagers which isn't realistic.
