How do the articles present information? What biases seem to be created, how the article (editors and authors) influence the readers' response to the topics, and so on. Look for language, imagery, and the like that may affect the way the story is told (and may shape how we feel about the topics)?

The post is about teenagers, it states that sexually active girls are more lkely to be bullied. The bias here is created about girls and boys who are extrovert in nature, they are out going, friendly, enjoy thrills etc. It is being cliamed that they are likely to be bullied more. -This statement is not true, even girls and boys who are shy, do not like sex to be topic of the town are likely to be bullied. This article is catching attention of teenagers and kind of telling them that indulging in such open sex activities leads to bullying followed by depression. It is also indirectly saying that such people face more problems than the normal ones.
I guess the langguage, which makes use of words such as sex, condoms, depression, succidal thoughts very openely is attractig teenagers. I guess being sad or giving up life are being thoughts are purposely being used under depression or suicidal thoughts because these things are often experienced by a teengaer due to mood chaneg. As they probably know these words, but do not know the intensity of it so as to avoid reading it. In the last it is also concluded by giving example that double standard behvaiour can be changed as it is not good for the mind which should be taught in early age.
