Media+on+adolescents

Teenagers around the world are somewhat affected by the media. Media is the reproduction of information. Media is easily accessible and comes in many forms, some of these are; television shows, the radio, internet sites and many more. To provide a detailed and even analysis am going to look at 3 different sources; Ralph magazine, the TV series ‘Neighbours’ and the internet site puberty101. The Ralph magazine creates a model for teenage girls and imprints in their mind to be beautiful and sexually attractive they must be big breasted, tanned and young. It also gives the impression that to fit into society and to be up to date in fashion teenage girls must wear small and uncomfortable clothes, have black tattoos and go out and buy expensive and painful body piercings.

It sends across the message that teenage shouldn’t speak to their parents about their dramas in life but bottle it up and be secretive about them. It also teaches teenagers to be rebellious and take more risks. Most teens already have this inclination and don’t need for it to be even more pressed on them. Puberty 101 is a website that the editor responds to questions asked by teenagers. This sort of media can have a positive influence on Teens. It helps teenagers to understand that they’re not the only person who is going through puberty. It also helps them to understand changes they’re undertaking. As you can see media comes in many shapes and forms and it is very difficult to avoid it. Some media is positive and negative. So no doubt teenagers of today will be influenced by the media for the better or the worse it is almost unstoppable as it is so frequent in the public.
