<\/object><\/p>\n

This ad depicts a teenager girl, to be sure, but teenagers of both sexes and all races and classes tend to be portrayed negatively, albeit in different ways.\u00a0 Jamie Keiles, a teenager herself, is trying to draw attention to this at her blog, Teenagerie<\/a>.\u00a0 Keiles writes:<\/p>\n
