Overall these attributes amount to what todays views as a stereotypical working class young boy. From events such as the London riots in 2011, and the media constantly attacking young working class males as 'hoodies' and 'yobs', portraying them to be something that the public should be afraid of.

These traits amount to a stereotypical middle class and well off family. Although we have applied a twist as we see that this nice life on the exterior, is actually a world of bullying and sadness. This subject of bullying get little media attention as it is not deemed as serious enough, and they insteaed concentrate on creating fear and problems for the public that may or may not be true.
