It’s not about creating realistic standards… it’s about creating disharmony in the mind of the consumer, a sort of uncomfortability between utopian ideals, its promise of satisfaction, and the abrasiveness of reality failing to provide, all of which is intended to get the consumer (us) to sacrifice ourselves (money) to the producers of idealistic content.

Youth=beauty is a scary mixture. It only makes sense that with an aging population we make try to shift that paradigm… and on top of that, people mature,and do it fast, puberty is crazy, it normally wouldn’t make for a stable cast member, also, child labor laws…

Its not that i disagree its that there are practical reasons.

As a fashion journalist, this strikes me as your typical “aesthetics” choice…

I’m 32, and I admit to watching ABC Family’s ’10 Things I Hate About You’. I could say I’m doing research for when my daughters are old enough to watch teen sitcoms, but really I just adore the actress, Lindsey Shaw, and her character on this show (most of the time).
A recurring comment of her father’s, when referring to character Patrick Verona, is “that fellow with the disturbingly deep voice”… Well, hmm. Maybe because the actor playing a 17yo boy is really 23?!
I blame this whole trend on 90210. How many years did those ‘kids’ attend high school?! Ten?!

Totally agree! I mean, my sister’s fifteen, and she shares NO resemblance whatsoever with any of these drinking age people, nor do any of her friends.
Ah, if only Catherine Hardwicke would see this. Apparently she wants to cast Rob Pattinson and K. Stewart as Fang and Max from the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson in the 2010 movie or something, and it’s not that they’re bad actors, but Max and Fang are fourteen.

Ha! I don’t know how many times I’ve thought just that… And specifically “wow, what kind of school allows students to show up dressed like THAT??”. I’m 28, so it wasn’t THAT long ago since I was in school, and yet I don’t remember things ever looking like this when I was in school myself…

yeah i talk about that in “not another teen rant” as well – teenagers, being, y’know, human, often have many sides, interests, etc. i guess tv-show writers only see the raging hormones they’re advertisers are trying to sell to. which is sad, because they’re very wrong.

I’m just tired of the way they present “normal teenage life” on these TV serials. First of all, most teenagers are not as ridiculously polarized as they make them on TV–the same person CAN be a cheerleader and enter into the science fair (!). And I don’t know about you, but I’m not that interested in fake archetypa characters; I’d rather watch something about REAL people. And secondly, teenagers really do have more to think about other than SEX and RELATIONSHIPS and SEX. Would it really kill the makers of these shows to write a more believable script?

Lohan was 16 when she made Mean Girls. She only looks 40 now because of the drugs.

Real shame. I thought she’d be something special.
