Concerns about media influence on teenagers. Itâs normal to be worried about the influence of media on your child. Media influence on teenagers can be deliberate â for example, media advertising is often directed at children and teenagers. This means that children and teenagers are increasingly conscious of brands and images.
First and foremost, to alleviate this epidemic, parents and role models need to send a strong message to adolescent girls about the falsehoods portrayed in the media. Parents, through their words or actions or lack thereof, can implicitly teach girls that they agree with media's depiction of the female ideal. Either overtly or subtly, parents can express their support for movies, television shows, and advertisements that present harmful ideals to their children.
