Don’t believe that, the first thing that gives it away is that none of its real at all, curse words is bleeped out, substitutes are put in, and if you notice the cars they drive are becoming increasingly expensive. In the show “Teen Mom” they show the dramatized side of being a teen mom, the fighting with the baby’s father, the hardship of having to share custody of your child, and not being able to live your life the way you see fit. In “Promises I can keep” it’s all about teen moms, but their mothers are seriously different different; instead of being 16 to 19 years old, their 11 to 16 years old. On top of being so young their boyfriends that ask them to bare their child are usually 16 to 18 years old, and in one case a 32 year old man got a 12 year old girl pregnant. So far the article is showing the dramatized versions of life, yes all of this is true, but that’s not all that it’s about.
They make it look like it’s fun and that other people should try it. TV shows have changed teenagers today by creating these horrible role models. “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” were supposed to show how hard life is when you’re pregnant at a young age, but it’s the exact opposite of what it’s really doing. Now that the first two seasons of “16 and Pregnant” are over, they are looking for a new group of pregnant girls to be on the new season. Girls recently are found to be trying to get pregnant to get on the show.
This really bothered me for many reasons. One of the biggest issues that I had with this program and major element of the photo business is the effect it has on young girls, especially girls aged 9-15. This is a very critical age for girls because, during this time, puberty happens. During this time, more girls will stop doing what they love because they are self-conscious about their bodies enough without the help of the fashion industry. It isn’t fair for a girl to open a magazine and think that the images they see are how they should look.
|Research Final Paper | | | |English 240 | | | |1/25/2013 | | | |Jennifer Tran | In our society today, there is a rapidly spreading epidemic among young teens called teen pregnancy. Adolescent pregnancy has been in our country for centuries, but recently we have noticed the growth and impact many aspects of society.

As time passes, the nuclear family structure will drift further and further away from the norm. Even now, we see variations with more mothers choosing join their husbands in the work force while still maintaining their domestic obligations or sometimes just hiring a nanny to take over all the domestic choirs. With divorce rates steadily rising, single parent households are also becoming more common. This “crisis of family” as hard-line conservatives might say started in the early 1900s. When radical ideas of sexuality came into the picture, the distress for the everyday American family became even more overwhelming.
Pregnant women face many barriers when trying to get help for their substance abuse problems. Many pregnant women seek out help through the community and treatment programs but find they are mainly male centered and do not cater to their personal needs. Other barriers they face are the fear of criminal prosecution and the fear of losing their current children to child protective services. Maternal substance abuse continues to be a growing problem today. Educating more mothers on the consequences of abusing substances while pregnant will help reduce the number of children affected by this significant problem.
Teen Sexting Introduction to Popular American Culture Teen Sexting Most parents worry about their children. As their children get older and roam farther and spend more time away from home they want to give their kids the tools that they need in case of an emergency. Parents will give them, for example, a cell phone. Parents figure that armed with a cell phone if their child gets stranded or in trouble they can use their phone to call and ask for help.

“It’s a Woman’s World” “It's a Woman’s World” by Eavan Boland is a poem that encourages women to look beyond the “sexist” rules of society, take charge and strive. As shown by Boland, women in our society are seen through a stable “lower than men” view. Boland's poem shows that woman are trapped, looked down upon, are seen as inferior to men.

Reading various news articles about teenagers here in America it seems that more and more times teenagers have fights that led to murder more often than not. I think schools, in every degree should pay attention and educate more Americans on the subject, and try to help decrease the manner that people will regret what they have done after they have done something bad. Parents as a rule don’t want their child to be aggressive, and careless. A good role model is one of the important things adults can do to help develop good teenage behavior. To form a good behavior for teen, parents should perceive what or whom their kids admire and whether it’s in his/her better interest, or
