Most Compelling Teen Image

It took me some pondering but I concluded, in my opinion, that the most compelling representation is that of the teenagers of the twentieth century. More specifically, the teenagers who protested for equality and rights to freedom of expression and such embodied the energy that many associate with teens. These same teenagers grew up to influence the Civil Right’s movement, the women’s suffrage movement, and other ideas that changed the world dramatically. Along the way, there were teenagers in each of the eras of the twentieth century that reflected the development of a new type of style. From the beginning of the 1900s, with tight collared shirts and lace , to the bellbottoms and miniskirts of the 1960s, this era of teenagers challenged and changed the norm.
