Depending on what kind of content is being shown and how much exposure the children receive will determine how much an adolescent is affected.

I'm going to talk to you about how the media makes teenagers worry too much about their body image. I don't know if you realized, but everyone of us sees or hears about 400-600 ads every day and way too many of them give us the wrong message about body image. All advertising on TV, magazines and billboards glamorizes skinny models who definitely do not resemble the average teenager.
