Rude. Loud. Obnoxious. Thick. Rude. Agggressive. Talk like chavs (and don’t talk about much else other than sex acts with black, controlling, misogynistic boyfriends).
Bet the liberal BBC elite are patting themselves on the back for these latest ‘modern yoof’ rolemodels.
Well, one of the most common topics of conversation amongst teenage girls is boys and boyfriends. (I don't know why you feel the need to mention the colour of the boyfriends; I guess you have your own reasons for finding that relevant, but it reveals a bit about you.)
In any event, in this show, Viva (who is arguably the main character) is shown to be sensible, intelligent and ambitious. She has a loving father and is doing well at school Saz is also very intelligent and does well at school. And Amber may not be the cleverest character, but she is kind and loyal to her friends. Only Holli has issues with violence, but she is also fiercely loyal to her friends, and by the end of the third series, she has grown up and matured a lot. Perhaps you're just seeing what you want to see.
As an American, I'm a little confused about a few things in this show. One of them is the many characters who appear unable (or unwilling for some reason?) to pronounce "th" sounds and instead say it with an "f." Like the title of this thread, "youf" instead of "youth." Why would someone do that? If anyone - even a teenager - spoke that way here, they'd be teased mercilessly for their speech impediment. But on this show it seems almost as though the words that are mispronounced this way are said proudly. Is this some sort of deliberate affectation? If so, why would someone chose to speak this way?
(And please don't think I'm putting America up as any sort of example of proper pronunciation. We obviously have tremendous problems of our own, just not this particular "th/f" one).
I am American, but I think it's just a cultural thing based on where they live. I'm watching the show now and Viva and Holly do pronounce the "th" as "f," but really only with the word "think"--from my listening.
"Do you even remember what you came here to find?"
It is called a 'dialect'. Try to imagine a show depicting the country folks in rural Georgia or Florida without them using the "Y'all" pronoun in every sentence. You would say that isn't authentic. This is how 'some' British youth speak Others speak the Queen's English. Your problem, something common with Americans, it that you assume the world has to revolve around you, your dialects, your accents, and no one else's.
