Celebrity and Media Influence

          Now-a-days, in 2012 teenagers do not follow what they think they think is right for them. Mostly ages from 12 to 19 usually follow what other people do, considering popularity, appearance, ect. They don't follow their heart. If other people are doing it that it is okay to do that action. That is how most drug addictions start, from either peer presure or celebrity influence. Also, teenagers are influenced by celebrity apperance and clothing brands. They get the idea that they will boost their popularity if they are unoriginial and copy famous people. That is probably how a lot of the good, expensive clothing stores became more famous, from pictures on the media and again, Celebrity Influence.
           Many teenagers have been doing things that are not good for their health, or their social life. They try to copy or mimic what famous people are doing just to become "popular". They may take a certain drug because a famous person is doing it. Like smoking and other drugs. People do not think before they say or do anything, especially teenagers. They just do what pops into their head first not thinking nor second guessing. They get influenced way easier and faster than adults do.
            "Teens" get influenced by pictures and videos and magazines also. If they see a beautiful model wearing hollister, they get the need to buy hollister clothing, sometimes even the same exact outfit. They mostly do this because it looks "good" on the model, but this is olnly because the photo editors have probably photoshopped the picture to make the model look "perfect." There is no such thing as perfection, it is only a label. Also, most stores get more customers when a peer or even a popular person wears it and others find out about that store.
            Teens get influenced way too easily and they agree to things they have no clue what they are, like drugs, jobs, or even wavers. They never feel the need to read the wavers they just sign them. Teens get influenced by the way things look and by the way people who people look up to do things.
