Recently a new trend has been going viral across the web. The condom challenge has only been around for a short period of time but already newspapers are condemning the trend. I believe that currently, there isn't a moral panic surrounding the challenge as there are very few articles on the subject. Also, although the articles shows the trend in a negative light, they aren't causing hysteria by publishing articles that are completely out of proportion. However, i think that if someone gets injured or hospitalised from this, the newspapers will jump on it and then create a moral panic.
How are teenagers depicted in this article?
Immediately in the title, The Guardian highlights the fact that its teens that are doing these stupid things. They also keep repeating the fact that teens are the culprit behind the challenge .
"Even better, it’s not even the first “condom challenge” to hit the internet. In 2013, teens were doing a different condom challenge..."
