Teens in the Media

What I thing on how teens are represented in the media. I think it is inaccurate how we are portrayed in the media. Well half and half. Are we always happy all the time. Not really.

Example number 1. High School Musical... Teens are always happy. Dancing like mad monkeys singing songs and kissing females. are we so happy that we dance around the school singing "What time is it". Probably not, that will get you expelled from school. This is not an accurate portrayal of teens, well some of it is but most are not. It's just a movie after all, all scripted not real. To me teens are not like that.

Example number 2. Freeks and Geeks... Probably to my and other people's opinion is the most accurate portrayal of teens in the media. But still fake. I don't have much to say about this but Geeks don't know about the male and female body... It's to me is mainly about stereotypes.

Making fun of Geeks. That's nice why not make fun of everyone while your at it.

Example number 3. MTV... What good is a male teen staring at teens having sex and porn. Stuff like this can ruin a young man's mind. why do teens like this stuff. Well we apparently according to the documentary we watched in class seem to be growing up too fast. That is all about this examples.

I have kinda a grudge against the corporations that create the media. All they want is money. Nothing but Monopoly Communists to me. Teens are what they are targeting. They just want our money. Like Disney. I might like some of the movies from Disney but they are an evil cooperate Commies. The sue children and teens for violating copyright. But all they want is money. Same with Hollywood. Teamed up with the evil communist copyright act (the copyright act is against democracy and the constitution). I not a pirate. Pirates can go to the far end of the moon and stay there for the rest of their lives. Well my point states that teens are tricked by these cooperate giants to give money. Gives some money to Africa fools, this is a recession.

The last paragraph is kinda of topic but what I'm trying to say is that teens are portrayed in the media in accurately and teens want to imitate the media. Britney Spears music videos are snaky and female teens want to be like her. soon Girls will be waring nothing but whip cream and a leaf. That's how messed up the media is. But I will not complain any more.

Media

Media Info.

1. I believe that media is really important in my life. I get access to information and news in the world. And without media I be... Nothing. I can't live without the media.

2. What types of media do you feel most passionate about or are most important to you? I say film, television, and comics & graphic novels. Film, well I like movies. Television
is nice. And I like comics. That's just what I am.

3. I like our modern culture. I like some of the new technology that is helping us communicate in different ways, like the computer which connects to the internet. I use media for communication and keeping informed with information around me. To put it simply, I watch TV shows.

4. The types of media I choose are TV shows, Video Games, Books, Music, and Internet.
My favourite TV show would probably be The Simpsons. Although I have lots of favourite TV shows. TV was one of my choices because television is cool. At least I have something to do after school. Video Games is by far my favourite type of media. My favourite games are Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Grand Theft Auto IV..... Playing on PC and Xbox 360 is pretty fun. For a bit.. Book, well books with words and pictures like strategy guides for games. Thats probaby it.

Music so far is ok. I guess... no comment on that. And finally the internet. That is where I do Google searches and go on Youtube. Also play flash and multiplayer games. That is probably it for now.

Im also looking forward to Modern Warfare 2.
