Self Image
The self image of today’s teens is greatly influenced by negative media, brand name items, and the “right” weight and size. Billboards, magazines, song lyrics, and television tell our teens that thinness is beauty and that you should have all the right clothing, shoes, and electronics to fit in and be “popular”. The advertisements tell us to do anything to make ourselves as beautiful as possible. We should get our hair and nails done. We should have the newest phones and ipods, the latest hair styles and outfits out of the magazines, and know the most ridiculous song lyrics at the time. Teenagers will do and buy anything to be included.
