Jay:

Although, as Moony challenges the representations and stereotypes of teenage males, Jay reinforces the stereotype. Jay was presented as being sexually minded and active more than has friends, violent, aggressive and powerful in the film Kidulthood. Jay's character seems to of gotten worse than before. Jay reinforces the teenage male view by turning to the life of crime by becoming a drug dealer, not pursuing or making something of himself and being able to keep a steady relationship.

However, this is due to him not dealing well with the death of Trevor (Trife).
