Sam's+Part+B

__Part B__ Digital media and text media. Adolescents are influenced by the people they see in the media a lot. They want to be like who they see on television and the "hot" girls on the front of magazines. Fo boys, they want to have abs like the man on the mens health magazine front cover below. They want to be strong and muscular, They want girls to be attracted to them like people in the media. i.e Justin Beiber, Zac Efron etc. Because of this sometimes young adolescents can feel depressed because they dont have a six pack, or big breasts etc. Teenagers and people going through puberty are influenced a lot by different types of media, such as magazines, newspapers, television and the internet.

Home and away influence boys and girls which are going through puberty. Home and away is a good example of the media's and television infuencing people in the wrong way. Dont get me wrong, home and away is a good show but say if one character is in a situation, half the time the charatcer will choose the wrong option which will take a will to get through, this is why they choose this. So if a teenager is in a similar situation in real life, and if they take the option like the character on a show like home and away take, it could end up bad.

Mens health is a magazine that misleads boys who are going through puberty, it tells boys how they must look, and tells them things which they have to do and be like and this is not the case at all. Instead of making their body different for a good reason it makes their body unhealthy and can cause emotional stress which leads to social differences.

Cleo is a magazine which targets teenage girls. Girls are influenced badly by these types of magazines because it tells girls that they must look like this and its the only way boys will like you and facts like this that are not true. Girls need to learn that most photos in those magazines are photoshopped and that is not how the women look in real life.



Digital and Print media represent adolescents because all adolescents want to be like the people they see in the magazines and on television. For example: All that girls are thinking when they see pictures like the one below is when am going to have breasts that big; or when will my face look that beautiful. In the end you need to learn to have an open mind and under stand advertisements, magazines and the media and learn that not everything is real.



Photoshopping: Photoshopping is used a lot now adays for men and women who want to look better. They photoshop out the bad features of a person. Eg acne, fatness etc. When these features have been removed they are left with a brand new picture which can make young adolescents feel bad about their image and make them want to look like the person they see in the media.
