Digital Media and Text Media

This page will tell you about the realities and myths of puberty through digital media and text media. This is apart of our assignment because girls and boys go through puberty reading and using these materials as a guide when going through puberty. I will be talking about one of example of each type of media. These will be: Television: Neighbours Magesigen: Dolly Internet: Puberty 101

Neighbours

Neighbours is a television show that presents young adolescences going through the ups and downs going through puberty. But most of this is fake or as you would say myths. These myths could be unnoticeable like such as acne. Acne is a big one because girls and boys would look at this and seeing that they do not have pimples they would feel different and it could hurt some boys and girls feelings. Also the boys and girls might want to allways get thier acne off by doing realy stupid things like sqweezing the pimples and damaging tissue and spreading it to other parts of the face or body. Look at this photo below would you think this is what they look like in real life. I would not think so.

But some things in Neighbours is that everyone has to grow and everyone has to go through nearly 7 relationships going through puberty before they really know what it means. This is good for boys and girls going through puberty because it encourages them to go through alot of relationships before finding the right person that you love. []

Dolly

Dolly is a magesign that has guide lines and some facts about girls (only) going through puberty. But some of these guidlines and relities and some of them are myths. An example of a myth would be a picture of a girl without any acne because if she doesn't have any acne well then she is not going through puberty. An example of a reality is that they tell there storis or whatever they do and what happens to them uasally happens to the girls reading it. This might mean that they will have there first period after this effect or that effect.

Puberty 101

Puberty 101 is a internet site for parents, boys and girls going through puberty. This is all real all picturs and all photos. This has to be real otherwise it would be written against by newspapers and television shows. This tells you everything even up to things you shouldn't be doing.
