Although the numbers are quite close, the majority do think that teenagers are given to much freedom and the public think that this might be the cause to anti-social behaviour.














We asked the general public what their ages were, and the common age range was 10-20 years old. We want to aim our documentary to this age range but we dont want to limit ourselves on target audience because we believe that a lot more people of an older age would be interested in our documentary topic and would watch it.










When we asked the public did they think that social behaviours effected the behaviour of teenagers the majority of people answered yes.






When we asked people if they thought teenagers are more violent than they used to be, the majority answered yes. We asked a range of ages so this result is a good because we know its a fair result





Most people we asked thought that yes teenagers do behave differently


About the same number of people were influenced by media as by music with a slightly less number being influenced by fashion


This is a pretty varied view of what influences teenagers in todays society but the media is only slightly the largest

The majority of our target audience watch television between 8pm and 10 pm, this is most likely because many soaps are on at this time and many parents would have put small children to bed



A majority of our target audience found that youth clubs would be the best way to get teenagers off the street






BBC is a trusted channel to most older people as it is the one with the best news programmes and is reguarded as a british institution and so many people in our target audience will watch this.











Although the numbers are very close there is a slight inclination to yes there is a cretain behaviour linked to each stereotype.












A majority of our target audience spent their weekends socialising and having fun with their friends.














A majority of our target audience were not effected by anti-social behaviour despite the idea of teenagers being so threatening











A majority of our target audience were chavs when they were teenagers, this is a surprising discovery as many chavs are blamed for the problems with society.




















We asked slightly more women than men
