__ Media influences __ __Women’s physical appearance__ Advertisements from TV and magazines typically glamorize women to have skinny figures, big breast, perfect complexion and wide hips. This can cause young teenage girls to try and change themselves to look like this and also make them worry about their current figure causing emotional effects.

Teenage girls need to learn that these girls don’t actually look like this usually they are photo shopped so that their physical appearance is more attractive, girls should not have to worry about their appearance as everyone is different. even these every day media girls do look as good as they appear.

__boys physical apperance__

Young teenage boys are the same they think they have to be ripped and huge. But with boys there is an advantage to this type of advertisement. Instead of them trying to change themselves in an unhealthy way they change themselves by being active and healthy to boost their body appearance. But this could also cause many emotional problems with boys who cant or don’t look like that, like the same with the girls



But there are cases where it’s a disadvantage by boys over working themselves, or perhaps they might use unhealthy performance drugs to make them look better or stronger.

__Advertising body enhancements__ At the time of transition boys and girls start to learn about relationships. We start to realise that the more attractive you are the more chance you have of being in a relationship. Big time companies take advantage of us in this aspect they advertise product that say they will improve our overall look, us wanting to look our best are vulnerable and try out these certain products. There are many products and advertisements that will change our overall appearance many are unhealthy for example quick time diets and food replacements make us eat unhealthy making us lose weight ,we may lose weight but in a very unhealthy way that causes other problems with our growing body.
