Teen-self image and the media

  Teen-self image is complected, different things take place in that such as the media that's around us and the people that are in our lives. Its a big deal to teens, because at this age that were in right now are image is the only thing that matters to us. We always want to be like what we see in the world around us as have the same hair, same skin, same body that all the models and actors around us. But there is a secret to all of that, no model is perfect, not every model has perfect skin it just doesn't work that way. So every time we see media like that make sure you think about is that really what they look like. Chances are that there not, its just plain as this there fake, they use make-up, they use computer editing, is that really what you want to be like. 
  Our self-image that you have one your self is every important and alot of things can bring your image down and make you not be satisfied with the way you look such as media and the things thay say that's a lie. Your self-image is who you are, its what you are, it makes you and to have the self image you want the most important thing to that is to have alot of self- confidence. Not everybody is going to like how you look, but not everyone is going to like how you act, the way you talk but chances are alot of people are going to like thoses things about you. Everybody as a opinion in the own mine about you and if its negative you just need to learn to not let that effect you.
  Your parents can have effect on how you see yourself and you self-image, which is not a good thing i mean what teen would want there parent to put there down on how they look or something. That's just not how it should be, your parents are suppose to encourage you, give you more self-confidence not lower it. Teens sometimes get to where they have in there mind and think that no one wants them here, no one cares about them or loves them. In my opinion every teen or well most of them go through that. they get in fights with there parents because things aren't done how they want it to be, or they just don't get along and the teen doesn't know what to do anymore. So there self- image and confidence lower and they become sad and they feel lonely in this world they they live in and most of the time no parents figure out that this stuff is happening to there teen.
  Yet teens can't really help the way they grow, or just in certain they can. Teens think their to fat and not right. They get hurt and teased sometimes if they don't have perfect skin, well why should kids do that because no ones perfect. But most of the times when kids do that it's just to make them self feel better about who they are because there going through some stuff things in life or they have no confidence or they don't like there self-image in the way they wish they did. But most of it goes back to media, they all started the thing about self-image and how you should look this way and act a curtain way and that's hurting teens, so  they need to find away to keep saleing what they make and doing what they do without bring teens self-image down about the way they are or look.
  To get away with some of the trouble teens are having in life, they most likely do stupid things that will effect them in the future such as drugs, achool, Unprotected sex and more. In teen life its not as easy as you think, theres more to it than what you see from the out side of the teen but also in the inside as well. When teens get to the point where their doing thoses stupid things that can effect them in numerous ways, they need a best friend there, they need a boyfriend/girlfriend there to help them through everything that they can't tell anyone else. We all know teens don't like talking to there parents about anything and that's way they need friends and boyfriends/girlfriends to lean on and me with.
