        Everyday ads are everywhere you look. Eventually they will change your behavior and how you act. You can change how you act naturally but sometimes change is not natural. Products like Axe tell you that if you don't use their product you will get no girls. That however is not true. A lot of people go out and buy their product because of that. This says that in order to be cool you have to use their product. Another large part of teen culture is fashion. There are a bunch of magazines that have beautiful girls in them and all the teens want to be like them. So they buy the cloths they model for thinking its cool. The largest part of teen culture is music. A lot of teens listen to music weather its rap or rock or any type of other genre. MTV has a lot of power over what music teens listen to. If they give an unknown band a showtime suddenly they become famous overnight.This shows how major corporations have a lot of power over teens and advertising.

         The media can also affect teens in a negative way, if you look in a magazine you see all these pretty skinny girls. All the teen girls want to look like them so they do bad things to their body hoping to get a good image out of it.These magazines make teens feel insecure about how their body looks and how other people view them. They make teens think that the models have a "perfect" body image and that's what its suppose to look like. A person may feel unhappy with his or her weight and feel unhappy about life in general. Then teens end up with diseases like bulimia and anorexia.
