Both video clips can be seen as moral panics as they both portray negative representations of teenagers revolving around drugs, sex and violence.
Bully reinforces the moral panic with the use of scenes where its protagonist is shown to be aggressive and disruptive these representations follow the stereotypes of the media. Bully injects ideologies within our society that teenage boys are troublesome and that bad behaviour is acceptable as it is allowed to be explored through a video game.
Like bully skins representations of teenagers being rebellious and involved with drugs, sex and violence generates a moral panic within society as what the media is saying about teenagers is being. Showing content such as skins can influence teenagers to educate them about how they should be acting in the way the media think.
However other media texts such as ugly Betty represent teenagers more sophisticated and less rebellious. Such as Justin, as he is represented as a caring young boy looking out for his family and single parent mother.
