Blog 2- Draft 1

A.      My agreement?

·         The media portrays teens as mischievous, mean, and sexual alcoholics.

·         We aren’t given the opportunity to create an identity, it’s like someone created it for us.

B.      Why am I in agreement with this perspective?

·         A lot of parents will say, “I remember when my daughter/son was a teenager, never want to go back there!” or “Terrible teens.”

·         The media puts the idea into the heads of parents, adults in general, that all teenagers excessively party, have sex, fight, curse, etc.

·         Not all teens are like this. I go out with my friends, play lacrosse at school, in a sorority, and do all of my homework. I have a lot of friends who have never been to a party and they’re teenagers.

C.      What do you want an audience to think about regarding that issue would you want them to question?

·         …I don’t understand this question

D.      How can you get the audience’s attention at the beginning of the blog and get them interested?

·         Come up with an Interesting title using catching words.

·         Big, bold and colorful

E.       Which sources or examples from your research can you use in this blog to explain your perspective?

·         One of sources titled, “Bashing Youth,” uncovers media myths about teens. He says that not all STD’s are from teenagers, adults have them too.

Ø  He cites multiple articles from accredited publications that contribute these so-called “media myths.”

·         My last source gives statistics regarding commercials, advertisements, T.V. shows and more, that directly influence teen behavior

F.      How does it connect to, stand up against, your own observations and experiences?

·         I recently saw the new movie “Project X,” and after watching that it honestly made me want to rage! That’s an example of teens imitating what they see in a movie.
