​**__Examination of Media Representation of Adolescence__**

== Dolly is a magazine aimed at teenager girls. It has articles on fashion, Hollywood idols, pop-stars, teen heros, videos and movies, health issues and many more articles that would relate to teenagers. In the magazine there are mixed images of how teenagers are presented which can be confusing to changing adolescents. Many teenage girls suffer from image insercurities and diet problems from the unrealistic images portrayed by skinny model. This can be seen in ads throughout the Dolly magazine. At the same time there are also articles on 'Body Image' which encourage girls to look beyond how they look and encourage eating right and exercising. Facts that are discussed in the magazine are articles like 'Depression do you have a friend in need?' which try to make teenage more open about this serious problem and incourage them to seek help or give them a way of finding help. For a teenager just starting adolescents Dolly can be over the top. For an older adolescent Dolly can be a positive or negative influence because of the articles and images within. == [[Oliver Hooper and Patrick Jessup|
