Representations
Age:

• An example of a young character who challenges the stereotype that all young people are lazy underachievers is the character Sheldon from the show young Sheldon. A young boy who is an overachiever and is way above his age grade in school, he is also shown to have high work ethic which combats the stereotype of laziness and disinterest in education and learning between young people.
• An example of a young character which reinforces the stereotype that are unwise, lazy, underachievers is the character Georgie who is Sheldon's older brother in young Sheldon. A young boy who is uninterested in school and learning and focuses all his time and energy into sports. His low grades and regular in-completion of homework  back up my claim that he has no interest in succeeding academically.
