A TEENAGE DREAM

The Story of an Innocent Naive Girl

Channel 4 is broadcasting a brand new series targeting teenagers and young adults. The series is based on the different tragedies teenagers get into in today’s society and how these tragedies can be triggered. The series is called ‘One Girls Story’ which will start to broadcast at 9pm every Friday and Saturday. The reason towards the target audience I particularly chose is to send out a message to all the teenagers out there who are struggling and being bullied through social media. My main focus is to concentrate on cyber bullying as in today’s society it is still a major issue that needs to be triggered.

In this series I will be starring the main character Ash who will be playing the role of a girl who has experienced bullying in her life. I have chosen to portray someone who has been in a situation like this before as it is more reasonable and understanding as it would be visibly seen through her emotions and her acting throughout the series. As the series is all based on cyber bullying, there will be other forms of bullying also shown in the series, such as abuse and neglect. My main message to represent to my audience is to learn from the series as there will be a lesson taught throughout the series. Now I will present significant parts of an interview of my main star in the series who will be sharing her thoughts and feelings about this new series.

What do you think of the main theme of this series?

I think this theme of bullying is very powerful as bullying occurs in our everyday life and is seen but never taken action for it. As I have experienced it in my past life, I know how significant it is and how many teenagers have taken the option of suicide. I believe that society is ruining the life of teenagers and giving them a bad image. I believe that society is stereotyping teenagers and making them take certain steps to give them a bad image.

What message do you think teenagers will take out?

I think that teenagers will realise to make the most of their life. They will understand the importance of their live and how precious it is. Teenagers who have been in similar situations should be able to relate and bring themselves up again. I believe they should realise the importance, and not take options such as suicide.

How difficult was it playing your role?

I found it difficult playing my role, as I was relating back to my situations and realising how painful it was for me, and how much it has changed for children in today’s society. I found it difficult as during parts of the shooting, I kept breaking down however, my emotions shown in the series were truly from my heart as I could relate it back to my past, and could remember how emotional and hard it was for myself.
