Difference in Reel Life and Real Life of Teenagers

The life of teenagers as we see in tv shows, movies and novel is relatively different from their real life situation. Because in real life there are no teenage vampires or werewolves who struggle to hide their supernatural abilities among normal humans. In real life they have actual real problems to face.  Jokes apart , this is the actual visualisation of teenage life in these so-called Young adult fiction.

I am going to share only my experience regarding the difference I felt between reel life stories & real life. 

Representation of Teens in Novels:-

Mostly Young adult fiction Novels are based on supernatural creatures or dystopian world. Former portrays the teenage as a supernatural being who struggles to hide his/her abilities from the normal people whereas latter is based on a fictional world relatively different from real world where a teenager plays a important role in bringing a change. Dystopian novels are actually hepful in changing the mind of youth towards important things.
Everything that is written about the life of teenager in these novels is completely different from their real ones. Teen life is not as difficult and as complicated as portrayed in novels. But as a matter of fact these novels provide a lot of humour and feeling of independence & predominance in the teens.

Represention of Teens in Tv Shows and Movies:-

Nowadays a lot of on-going popular teen dramas are being watched by a million people . Everyone enjoy them so much that no one thinks about asking one question- Do teenagers really look that old in real life? 

In most teen shows , the actors portraying the role of teenager are  much older than their characters. The storyline of tv shows is so confusing and surreal that no one can relate to real life situations. 

There are shows that portrays teen life more typically and the things that normal teenagers face. In 2017,  '13 reasons why' was released which was based on a lot of social issues regarding teenagers like suicide, depression & bullying.  This show raised a lot of awareness worldwide. After the release of this show people came to know about the real horrors that teenagers face in high school. 

 In my opinion teenagers should just take these things as entertainment only and should not apply any tricks or bad habits from these reel life stories in their real lives.
