Claire:
As well as looking at and focusing on teenage male representations and stereotypes, I will be focusing on teenage female stereotypes and views. Claire's character has also improved and developed from her Kidulthood days by challenging the stereotypical view of teenage females. Claire was presented in Kidulthood as being sexually active with abusive partner Sam, and at times with Jay. We also saw Claire as being a party girl, binge drinking and not maintaining a stable relationship as we saw her going from Jay to Sam and Sam to Jay. She was presented as promiscuous and also seen as a sex object.
Although, in Adulthood Claire challenges the teenage female stereotypical view by also changing her lifestyle around. Claire's character does this by keeping hold and keeping a steady relationship with new boyfriend Hayden played by Danny Dyer and doing something with her life and pursuing what she wants in life.
