Families need to...Teach critical thinking before the teen years by discussing media messages: Do girls really look like that? Why are there so many makeover shows and what message does that send?
This article shows the affect the media can have on a teens decision with suicide. The constant shows on outer beauty and the snob appeal of celebrities everywhere. We need to educate out teens more on the true beauty on the inside and that no one is perfect. We need to show them acceptance for themselves, and demonstrate how they should look at themselves. The media has created false and harsh perceptions for years and is only getting worse. In some retrospect the media is like a bully in itself.
