Stereotypes - Young and Old

Young -
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2405745/Kylie-Jenner-16-crashes-125-000-Mercedes-Benz-SUV-just-18-days-getting-license.html

A stereotype of young people is that they are reckless and careless and this article fits this stereotype because Kylie Jenner crashed her $125,000 car after only 18 days of having passed her test. This stereotype has been around for a while and it has now come to that when people think of teenagers they think about how they can bum what they want and do not have a care in the world. The article is not challenging this stereotype at all it is only reinforcing it.

However, this article challenges this stereotype as the three teenagers in this article have really high IQ scores, the girl who the article is mainly focussed on, Neha Ramu, has a higher IQ than Albert Einstein. This challenges the stereotype that teenagers do not care about education and getting anywhere in life
