The situation, that I started this whole conversation with,
is that of "Junior Apprentice". A show which, I suspect, was not commissioned by teenagers.

The producers might not be purposefully presenting it as a social ideal, but they're still doing it. Really they're only uncritically echoing a general pre-existing sentiment.
