Do you believe the media adequately portrays teenagers today?

No, I don't think the media accurately portrays teenagers today.

Explanation:

The media in this 21st century seem to have an agenda against teenagers in this day and age. They portray them mostly as video game addicts, social media addicts, disobedient, and downright rebellious.

This is not an accurate representation of teenagers all over the world, even though it may be true for a small section of teenagers. There are teenagers who have produced, developed or invented things that have changed the world, teens like Jack Andraka, who found a less expensive way to identify cancer signs early enough and Ann Makosinski who developed a flashlight that converts body heat to energy.

The media rarely covers such news or gives it wide coverage, but seem to magnify the bad news from some teens.

the legal limit for the drivers who can drive after consuming any amount of alcohol is 21 years.

explanation:

on november 1, 1996, a "zero tolerance law" was put into effect in the new york state.

according to this zero tolerance law, for people under the age of 21 years, it was illegal to purchase and possess alcohol or to drive after consuming any amount of it.

also, the alcohol involvement rate for the drivers under the age of 21 was roughly twice that of elderly drivers.
