This article talks about how most teenagers spend most of their time watching television and video games. They spent more hours of their day devoted to games and telivision, more time they spent with teachers at school.Concerns have arisen periodically in this country over media content to telivision. About 15 percent of teens admitted to drinking. There are 3.6 million americans hooked on cocaine. the reason being media saying it's ok.
I agree with you i think media has a lot to do on how teens and anyone view themselves. And the way that they make it seem like drugs are not so bad and that if you do them you would be concidered cool. Every teen wants to be like the latest famous celebraty, singer, dancer, actor, ect. They just find negative things about themslves. They think doing drugs will make them be more liked. good job bianca 8)
