Obviously, american teenager spend the most of time on media. No doubt, media is powerful message and people learn from media and know what is going on in our society. For example, nowadays people did not like communicate face to face, on the contrary, they'd like to use Facebook to talk on the internet. In fact, sometime media will give boys and girls some wrong messages, for example, young girls are over care their looks and bodies, and girls spend the most of time on make up. Then, boys always think they should not cry and should be strong anytime. On average, 53% of 13 year old girls are unhappy with their bodies and that number increase to 78%by age 17. indeed, boys and girls will become negative, self-disgust, shame and so on.
