Representation
Girls are represented as both masculine, easy, gold diggers.

Teenagers are also represented as a new era of teens, both troubled, miserable, and misguided. In turn this could be a reflection of modern day societys failings, and the changing of society for he worst.

Females can't cook, are more/equaly powerful as men, treat sex like men (unromantic), do drugs, and drink like men.
This inturn leads to family breakdown/ less relationships in society. Basis of relationships not storong in present day society, and are reflected in tenagers. Family life is no longer valued, society has lost respect for its strongest asset. No families, no security, people are scared. Kidulthod is a reflection of this fear.
