For example, pedophiles often prefer children close to puberty who are sexually inexperienced and use pornographic photos to demonstrate to their victims what they want them to do. Moreover, pornography often promotes sexual promiscuity and other activities that if pursued, would undoubtedly contribute to unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). According to the article of The Effects of Pornography, Patrick F. Fagan (2010), it was well stated that “Pornography’s frequent depiction of intercourse without condoms (87 percent of the time) is an invitation for the promiscuous to contract a STD to have a child out of wedlock and to have multiple sex partners. Pornography also promotes sexual compulsiveness, which doubles the likelihood of
The Secret Life of the American Teenager Analysis The Secret Life of the American Teenager is a show that portrays a group of stereotypical teenagers, and demonstrates how the act of having sex affects their everyday life.

The target audience for The Secret Life of the American Teenager is teenage girls. ABC Family has a reputation for showing mostly family friendly content and is trusted by parents.
The lyrics of the song represent how young people struggle with relationships and how they can be confused about the concept of love. For example, the words ‘I think I may love you’ are repeated throughout the song. This represents young people as it shows how indecisive they are and how here is a battle between logic and emotion with young people in relationships. The visual codes in the video represent young people as they are very explosive and vibrant. The man in the video has a typical hipster look with a weird hair style and out of control beard, something that you’d see most young ‘hipsters’ with.
For example, a male wanting to dress and act like a female but at the same time having a sexual relationship with a male. It is true that individuals do become homosexual or anything along those lines due to hate, anger, and violence but also because of natural causes like something happening in the womb during development or the child having a sibling that is the opposite sex than them and they pick up their type of behavior whether it is a boy or a girl. On the other hand, homosexuals are often made fun of by the heterosexuals. An explanation for heterosexuals’ behavior towards homosexuals is mainly because it is out of the norm and for people who are strongly religious; the bible doesn’t state anything along the lines of being homosexual. Males typically have more of a hard time with society when they are homosexual than females.
From televison programs to movies to even commercials and advertisements the media many times influences us to a polar extreme of these ideals. Too often they are forced upon us by the media, and more likely we as human
Middle and high school students are too inexperienced to know that abuse is not love. Since dating violence is a prevalent issue among teens and because of the emotional and behavioral effects, the victims, their parents and their schools need to open up about dating violence. Although teens view dating as a new freedom and independence, it can also turn into a nightmare. Many teens might not be aware that relationships can turn violent. Although “dating violence has always had this core feature of trying to control the thoughts, feelings and actions of another person” teenagers do not know how to recognize the signs of abuse (Teicher par.
Obesity- obesity is a huge problem in America today. Not only with adult but children obesity is also becoming a big concern. A prediction was made last year which made an estimated that if the obesity rates continue to grow as rapidly as they are all 50 states could reach rates over 40 percent by 2030. Thirty-nine states could possibly reach rates above 50 percent, and 13 could have rates over 60 percent. Teen pregnancy- The U.S has the second highest teen birth rate among 46 countries, also 1 out of every 3 girls will get pregnant before they even turn 20 years old.
They have made bad decisions in their life and they are getting publicity out of it. Is this really the type of thing that you want your child to be looking up at? Seeing these popular movies, television and teen icons influences us to think that it is cool to be pregnant at a young age. The media is influencing us too much, we follow whatever the "trend" is and we don't think for ourselves. Casual naked people dancing around, thin and built models, and teen pregnancy is subconsciously affecting us to think all of this is okay.
I saw girls ridiculed and disrespected by our peers. Most of the boys in my grade would try to use her, hoping that they could get her into their bed, while the girls would despise her out of disgust, or in some cases, jealousy. Before we even knew her name, she was already referred to as “the slut.” But when the rumors were about a male student they were usually positive. Without even trying he already wins the respect of the guys and impresses the girls with his experience. He too gets a name and that is “the player.” It's a huge double standard.
Depression and suicide goes back to preteens/children not being emotionally or physiologically mature enough to have sex. Since many young people will have sex to show the other partner that they “love” them, when in reality it isn't love and often leaves one of the two heartbroken which may lead to depression. Meeker also discuses obscene rap lyrics, lurid reports of teen orgies and the high school "craze" for oral sex and blames: post-60s permissiveness, the misguided association of condoms with safety and sexualized media imagery and gives examples of, the popular magazine Cosmopolitan and television series Ally McBeal.
