How age is represented in 'Eastenders'

It's Darrens stag night as he is planning on getting married to Jodie, however things don't go as planned when a drunken Darren cheats on her a night before with a close friend of Jodie's. Unfortunately, Jodie finds out and the wedding is called off.
These two clips show how teenagers and young adults are represented through media. They are shown to be having wild parties and drinking their way through them. In addition to this, some sexual comments are made which then lead to two characters sleeping with each other. This represents that most teens and young adults are mostly about the alcohol and having sex with other people. Some aspects of love are shown in the rest of the clip with Jodie and Darren because they are about to get married, but with the rest of the characters on there it is just loud music, booze and getting with people. 
They have in been dressed in clothing that will be seen on many teenagers now days which makes it quite realistic and also seem to be stylish to our modern generation; the hairstyles add to this genre also.
