Media

I believe that media is semi-important in my life. The reason for this is because I don't really rely on it completely, but I do use it often. The media I find that is important would be watching the news, to see what is going on in today's world, and the weather. I do watch Much Music, simply because I just like having the T.V. on in my room, I rarely pay any attention to it.
The media isn't really something that I feel passionate about, but if I would have to choose some part of the media to be passionate about, I would choose video games, simply because I love video games so much. I play them all the time, and sometimes a little bit too much, honestly. I would call it more of an addiction rather than something I am passionate about, haha.
Modern culture? Well, my thoughts on modern culture is that I think it's stupid and useless. I don't think that it's worth my time to be watching things on T.V. about celebrities and what's going on in their lives, I have my own life to worry about. And not to mention, some of the things they mention on their blogs are utterly ridiculous and stupid. But of course, this is just my opinion.

How do you feel about the way teenagers are portrayed in the media?
Well, this is a touchy subject to talk to me about, considering I have a whole load of opinions about it. I think, personally, that the teenagers on the shows that we watch on T.V. are totally the opposite to the people in real life. Their hair is always perfect, their make-up always looks amazing, and they have the perfect lives every teenager out there dreams for. The media in terms of teenagers on T.V. is making teenagers feel bad about themselves. They think they have to look and act the way the kids on T.V. do, dress the way they do, eat exactly what they do, or not eat at all, and I think it is a big issue. A good example of pressure being put on teens by the media and the characters in the T.V. shows would be the show The Hills. The girls on this show are always perfect, they're pretty, they have everything going for them, nice clothes, the latest technology, cool phones. They make the teenagers in real life think they need to have everything they do just to fit in and such, whereas, it's totally mindless.
Well, those are my opinions on this subject, thanks for reading :]
