what does that mean? LOL

like what sort of stuff do i have to write about youth culture??

Answer 1

You need to say what "these representations" of youth culture are for anyone to be able to help you.

Answer 2

how about:the style of clothes that are "in", the type of music, and the tv,movie,and music stars that are popular, what is the "cool"car  that you need to be "in"? In my day, it was the mustang. What tv shows do you have to watch to be "cool"?  The Hills? Gossip Girl? Big Brother's House? Do you have to make the scene at the mall? there are dozens and dozens of things that are important to the subset called "teenagers".

Answer 3

Well, we don't know what "these representations" are, you would need to provide us with more information. But whatever they are you will explain what they mean and then relate them toward your own life. for example (by the way, I don't know if this is "youth culture") if it says youth are anxious to explore their independence and enjoy spending time with their peers, you could talk about how you enjoy privlidges your parents have given you (ie; late curfew, allowing you to travel places alone) or how you enjoy hanging out with your friends more than your parents, older/younger siblings and others.
