*TRIGGER WARNING* In this episode we do discuss explicit themes such as sex, sexual violence, self harm and suicide in the context of teen shows such as 13 Reasons Why and Euphoria, so please be mindful when listening.

This week Sabrina with special guest Lola Churchill breakdown how the media conventionally depicts teens and teen culture, emphasising themes of reckless behaviour and rebellion which may be considered problematic.

We explore shows such as 13 Reasons Why, Skins, and Euphoria as well as taking a look at the producers and actors behind these teen shows, analysing the motives behind the messages they send and how these representations have societal implications.

This week Sabrina with special guest Lola Churchill take a look at how neurodiversity is represented in modern media.

From tik tok trends to self diagnosis, we discuss how the increased awareness for neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD and ADD, helps to eliminate stigma, while also contributing to misrepresentations of genuine conditions. We also consider the correct approach to discussing disabilities and how social media has contributed to our knowledge and understanding of such disorders.
