__ Heartbreak High __
The hit TV series Heartbreak High is one of the top drama and reality. Heartbreak High also is one of the most inspiring TV shows towards fashion and body image. It shows images of perfect, young and beautiful women and fit young men who always get the girls. This affects the audience because they feel as if they have to become like this and look like these perfect bodied characters in real life. Also most of the actors have already gone through puberty which makes teenagers going through puberty who watches this show feel as if they are weird or going through complete weird changes.

In Heartbreak High they present many myths of puberty and adolesces through their characters and problems in the show such as for boys trying to get girls. The show also shows that being pretty and sexually attractive is more important than personality and nature.

Heartbreak High can have many affects on adolescents during puberty. It affects adolescents because it shows perfect images of teenagers while in real life these aren’t as they seem on TV. This affects adolescent because teenagers especially in girls try make them self’s look like this “perfect” characters which aren’t real. Most of the characters in the television show Heartbreak High aren’t what they look like on TV because the directors use camera techniques to make them look prettier and look as if they have no faults.

During the time of puberty teenagers like to watch shows like this. But some or most of these shows can have negative effects on some of these teenagers who watch them because the show shows aspects of life that just can’t be and images of people that are perfect on the outside.

Sometimes Heartbreak High and other drama reality shows can have positive affects on adolesces because it can explain some points of puberty in easy was to understand and it can tells us some very good ways to cope with situations and points in the time of puberty. = Misrepresentation in the media: dolly magazine  = The media misrepresents a lot of things such as the looks of people and their features, which can be greatly exaggerated. I am going to look at the dolly magazine and point out the misleading facts about the people shown. __Firstly,__ the boys are shown as very muscular, handsome and in the later stages of puberty, but this can all be done with makeup, cameras, lighting and film techniques. The boys may actually have pimples but because of photo shop they can be cleared out. Some boys feel that they are not normal because they don’t look as the magazine depicts what a boy should look like, but really the use of lighting and film techniques hides what the models really look like. __Secondly,__ girls are shown as very attractive and in very nice clothes (which is really advertising for clothe companies) but their looks can easily be hidden by makeup and Photoshop techniques. They may have ugly facial features or they may have pimples but Photoshop can block these out or rearrange the to make them disappear. __Thirdly,__ it is not to say that the magazine is all makeup and lies, as it shows some realities about getting pregnant and preventing it. There is a section in the magazine that is a write in part where girls can write in and have the makers of the magazine answer their questions about getting pregnant and advice on what they should and shouldn’t do. Things that Photoshop can do: [] [] [] some teens think that they are not good enough or they are ugly because they don’t look like the standard of people in magazines but really the magazines are usually fake and they have been photo-shopped.
