my media assignment :) i need peoples opinions xDo models and celebrities in advertising promote an unhealthy body image for teenagers today? and why?
Some do. But to be honest, it's really all about a persons ability to separate the appearances of Hollywood from the reality. People can complain all they want about the unhealthy body image, but the fact is if people want to be skinny, its a personal choice. And being in the public eye is just something they choose too. It's better then if everyone was fat. Then kids would start overeating and not exercise. Hollywood is skinny, but it also stresses the importance of health. Few respected celebrities are skinny because of eating disorders. It's dieting and exercise. Do models and celebrities in advertising promote an unhealthy body image for teenagers today? and why?
I believe nowadays people focus too much on the physical, and its a shame that teens have to feel so much pressure because of what the media says about body image, and the material things they should have. I believe that their are some celebs that present a good body image in the way that they look (Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys) and there are some that just look ridiculous and they give teens a false view of what is normal. Teens are greatly influenced by the media, thats is why teens act the way they act, and do the things they do. In another aspect, celebrities are not the parents of the teens absorbing the media, the parents of the teens should help and guide there children in healthy thinking.
I was just watching Desperate housewives and grey's anatomy reruns and it was crazy. Sickly skinny women, every last one of them. When all you see on tv is waaay skinny people, you naturally start looking at your normal self as abnormal.
But, at the same time, being fat isn't healthy either, and it's a known fact that the US has an obesity problem.
So, it seems to me that a small portion of the teenage girl population is buying into the super skinny ideal set forth by models and celebrities, and then about half of the population is buying into the McDonalds commercials and leading unhealthy lifestyle. Both are equally disturbing and detrimental to health.
I see enough overweight kids walking around today that it seems that it is not that much of a problem. Maybe for a small select group of young women in certain cultures that believe the thinner they are the better they look.
Well i`m a guy and the only thing male models could advertise for me is fitness wich isnt a bad thing
I think No
they are just advertising

How would you deal with teenagers who lied (about stealing and god knows what else) straight in your face?
Teenages who were confronted with obvious stealing in the house, lied boldly and disrespect parents. What are the solutions??How would you deal with teenagers who lied (about stealing and god knows what else) straight in your face?
Well. One thing I have heard but haven't had to follow through with is this. I heard that some parents will remove EVERYTHING from the kids room. Leave them a blanket and provide them with a change of clothes. Even remove the door from their room. As the law states, you just have to have 2 sets of clothes, 1 to wear, 1 to wash, a place to sleep (no criteria here, just a PLACE to sleep). and 3 meals.That's it. Everything else is considered ';extra'; and is not prescribed by law. I think it is extreme but would do it if my hand was forced. My kid saw it being done first-hand so right now all I have to do is threaten it. Lets hope it stays that way.
P.S. PEOPLE - Read the question. It does not say they are stealing from a store. They are stealing from 'the house'... As a parent confronting the thieving child, YOU ARE the 'manager'.How would you deal with teenagers who lied (about stealing and god knows what else) straight in your face?
Tell them you are not a fool, make them take back the stuff they stole, straight to the head manager of the store. Make them feel embarrassed and ashamed of what they did. Then, phone your local police station and ask if you can take the boys to a teenage jail, that should set them straight. Also, praise their good actions, even things like going to school for the full day and not skipping. There is no such things as bad apples, just bad and inconsistent parenting.
Send them to miltary school and tell them u know the truth.
more parental interaction? this is tough, but I find that kids respond better to attention, affection, interaction, and true interest in them rather than punishment.
of course I'm no pro, and maybe these kids are just ';bad apples';
make him/her take it back to the store. Open or unopened. If the cops get involved then make him/her clean and mow lawns to make up for the fine. Embarrasement is getting caught stealing. That will teach them. Tough love!

Who would you deal with teenagers who think they know it all I';m talking 15,16,17yr.olds?
there the first to tell you how the game of life works, but if they need something there the first to ask, their my girlfriends kids they stress her and myself out and most certianly put a strian on our relationship I am not going to play there little games, nor am I going to give them a silent treatment either. what do you do when you are living with them?Who would you deal with teenagers who think they know it all I';m talking 15,16,17yr.olds?
im 17, but really i think it depends on the kid. Theyre going to annoy you alot, especially since you're not theyre father. If you sit down and talk to them, theyre not really going to pay attention, all they'll say is, You're not my father, who are you to tell me what to do?
Let them do whatever they want, they'll learn from their mistakes and eventually thank you for TRYING to help them. Kids my age are stubborn and hard headed and we think we know it all, but lets face it, were all scared to death about the future and eventually we ALWAYS need your help. They'll come to you.Who would you deal with teenagers who think they know it all I';m talking 15,16,17yr.olds?
Well they are your partners children so when you got with your partner you should have realised that you would also have to take on living with her children...You cant and shouldnt try and push her children out, at this age they are all the same as they arent very mature but they grow up and change. All they want you to do is react so just play things cool ignore them and be there for them if they need advise you should be glad if they ask your advise that means they have some kind of trust in you...
This is part of being a parent anf bringing up children, dealing with their attitudes dont lower yourself to a teenage level and react just rise above and let them get on with everything they need to they will soon grow out of the teenage behaviour...
If it's backtalk, then SHE, being their parent, needs to smack their mouths, and open up a giant can of whoopup on them when needed. They aren't too old for that if they are going to act like that. If they are going to act like a child, then they will be treated as such, and children need spankings from time to time.
If she isn't willing to do that, that means she's willing to let them destroy your relationship, and you would do better to move out and move on to someone who WILL make their kids respect you.
well im 15 and I will tell you this. If I want advice I will ask for it and follow it. But if i don't want it, there is nothing my parents can do that will make me follow their advice. I might listen to it or i might tune them out....but I wont follow it.
now you see. That is true and it isn't. You see, that is what us teenagers send across. and we do that purposely. Because part of us WANTS to know everything. But there is a tiny part of us that knows we didn't.
so while we may ';ignore'; your advice we really are listening and will most likely follow it when you aren't looking. After all, we cant admit we were wrong.
all i can say is, keep being there for them. give them advice and always treat them with the respect any human deserves. You may be older but they are still human. Teens want to be adults. We want to be treated with the same respect adults want to be treated with.
Show them respect, don't bow down and kiss their feet, but show respect. Give them advice and treat them nice. ALL THE TIME whether they want it or not just give it to them.
they will thank you in the long run.
good luck
I'm a fifteen year old 'know it all.' My mum's best friend has a son who is the same, so as soon as I say something, she goes 'You dont know it all though.. _____ does' Which soon shuts me up. But seriously, it's a phase.. if I think about it it is kind of seeking approval, when a teen's self esteem is low, So instead of sarcasm and beating them down, try to be more positive towards your child, and just laugh off the cocky bits :D
Hope I helped XD
I agree with Tina. You get get you give Do you treat them like you know everything? Do you give them respect? If not don't expect any back. Unquestioning obedience is not a great charateristic compared to independent thought.
Do you have respectful conversations with them? I often see people say that teens have no respect, but thats often because they aren't given it in the first place. If you give a little, you might get a little.
Make you a list of rules and put them on the wall so they can read them. If they don't follow them, they loose. Make sure one of the rules is, If you live under my roof, you will respect me at all times.
Well, what's the difference between a 17 year old, and an 18 year old?

Do you still clean your teenagers room?
I know I am a horrible parent, at least that is what some will say, but I do....I clean it! There I confess....Do you still clean your teenagers room?
I dont think you should. You never know what you will find.
Your not a horrible parent for cleaning their room,
just let them do it themselves
dxDo you still clean your teenagers room?
It's not a matter of you being a horrible parent, it's what you want your teen to be like. Do you want him/her to be self-supporting, orderly, organized, and efficient? Then something as elementary as keeping their room neat is a must. It really is amazing how much of our lives is the result of the way we were raised. Honestly, it's not a live or die thing, but I assure you that it will be good character that his or her future employer appreciates one day and their spouse will admire and respect. We all know what a cool thing it is when our partner helps out with the house.
lol I wouldn't say horrible!!My children are still young but I don't plan to when they get older,they need to learn to clean up after themselves,we are currently staying with my In laws and my hubby's younger brother is 15 and my MIL cleans up after him,I swear if he asked her to wipe his butt she would.He makes all kinds of messes and leaves them there it is horrid.I get very annoyed when he doesn't clean up after himself.My son is only 3 yrs and he cleans up after himself.
Your not doing a good thing for your teen.
You are enabling them and I would hate to see it when there married and if the spouse have to pick up after them.
I am not sure if you like to read or not but here is a good book for you!
Boundaries with kids or it's Boundaries for kids.
This is a great book and I recommend you read it from cover to cover.
It has helped me be a better parent.
Mother of 3 and a step mom to 1.
You are not a horrible parent. Also if you do clean your kids room they know you have a better chance of finding secret things. Being notes, magazines they should not have, ext. This way you can always keep them on their toes.
Also depends on why you are cleaning. Do they have school then go to work? Do they help around the house more in turn for you cleaning their room?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
your still cleaning your teenagers room! When she goes off to live her life..wiihtout you shes not gonna know what to do and shes going ot be very very dirtty! my mom makes me do chores around the house..tis not that much..but its enough that ill know how to live my life in college and older life...sooo stop cleaning his/her room and let your child take responsibility!
dont worryy she will do it..i dont think shed want any boys or firends seeing her room like that!...dont worry mine gets a mess then i spend aday cleaning it..cuz id get mebarressed
and if its a guy .. boys dont care what there room looks like..so if he doesnt clean his room dont give him allowence or dont let ihm go out..untill its cleaned
You clean your teenager's room???!?? My parents haven't cleaned my room since I was old enough to do it myself.
Oh and not to mention that I have a messy Rome mate/sister who refuses to clean so I have to do it all.
You're not a bad parent. But maybe you should think of letting your teen clean his/her own room.
My mom does clean my room. I hate when she does though. I personally rather it messy. I absoIutely NEVER clean it.I feel like I can find things easier when it is messy. It's weird I know but I dont like it clean. I just wouldnt clean it your teenagers room. They might like it messy.
I don't have a teenager. My oldest son is only 4 years old but no, I do not clean his room aside from vacuuming it. I make him do it. I don't think you're a horrible parent, but you really should make your teenager clean their own room.
NO!!! The only time that I will even go into my teenage daughter's room is to throw everything out of it. She must clean it....and if it's not up to my liking....everything gets thrown into the hallway and she has to clean it from there.
Well my parents don't. Sometimes my dad offers to do it sometimes but I won't let him because A. it makes me feel bad that he is doing my chores and B. he likes to get rid of stuff he thinks that we won't need and once he threw away my homework.
No they need to do it themselves they need to have that responsibity so they will grow up knowing no one is going to do this for them they have to do it for themselves
My parents dont clean my room, but i dont hardly ever so its usually a mess, until my mom grounds me for ignoring her when she tells me too. :)
Me too! i just have to clean my room. :)
After a while it gets so ... unorganized and i actually WANT to clean it!
my mum and cleaner does.
i prefer washing the dishes or cleaning the garden than cleaning my room...
i'm trying to stop this bad habit...
Naa my mom doesnt clean my room anymore.
She gave up on ever having my room clean.
So she doesnt ask me to clean anymore (:
i gave up cleaning there rooms about two years ago although sometimes i still do
u are NOT a horrible parent...
No, I dont.
I think there is a point when they need to act responsible. my children have been expected to keep their rooms clean since they were 8
im 17. i flip every time my mom goes into my room. i wouldnt want her touching all my stuff, going through it and moving it around
You're not a horrible parent. But your teen needs to learn to be responsible for his/her room. It's an important thing to teach. If your teen is used to having a clean room then he/she will probably keep it clean on their own just because they wont want it dirty. Just kindly pass the responsibility on to your teen and see how it goes. Be ready to enforce new rules that come with the independent cleaning. Good Luck!
Nope, my parents don't clean my room. It bothers me when my room is dirty so I clean it myself.
i clean my own room
my mom dont care
it annoys me wen its messy tho
my mom does if she can't stand it anymore, since I never clean it.
My maid cleans my room :)makeup tips
I dont think you should. You never know what you will find.

What kind of songs do teenagers like ?
I AM MAKING A PARTY AND WELL I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF SONGS THEY LIKE?What kind of songs do teenagers like ?
it's verys from person to person. I listen to heavy metal and rock but i've friends who like rap and hip hop. you should ask them to bring their mp3s and an amp and you can just huck it up.What kind of songs do teenagers like ?
A lot of Lil Wayne!!!
Different teens like different music
I like hard rock like
ACDC
Motley Crue
Guns'n'roses
etc.
You are ';making'; a party?? Anyways...
All teenagers don't like the same types of music. A lot of teenagers like pop and rock music, though. Ask the people you are inviting, or since I don't think you're a teenager yourself because if you were you would know, then ask your teenage kids. Music tastes differ, so make sure you get lots of different kinds. A lot of people like the ones that give you instructions, like the Hokey Pokey or the Cha-Cha Slide.
A lot of teenagers like rap and pop. Whatever is popular that week, they'll like. Teen girls love the Jonas Brothers. Myself, a girl of 13, listen to metal. Don't play metal though, people will think you're a mental case. Teens like what they can dance to, so always have some upbeat music. Once in a while, put on a slow song. Have fun!
Well.........
I'm assuming you will be mostly inviting your friends so it obviously depends on what type of music they like.
Many different people like different music so it's hard to see :P
Although in general for a party, try get some good upbeat songs, mixture of type if you have a mixture of people, and just great tunes overall
Have fun XD
if you want music for your friends, ask them what they like, but if it's for a daughter,or something, maybe pop or rock bands.
you could ask people who are coming what they like.
have a variety. choose rap, hiphop, rock, metal, techno and all that good stuff.
since everyone's taste of music is different just go for it all.
8)
You are asking the very wrong person; i mostly like guitar and piano music:P
Lets see what my friends like...Kid rock, coldplay, someone i've never heard of, amy winehouse, disney music, etc.
put on some slipknot or maybe testament metallica or avenged sevenfold have a mosh pit and get some headbangers
Instead of assuming their tastes based on age, why not ask them? I'm 18 and my favorite singer is Bjork, for example. Go around and ask them.
Well ask all of ur friends. that could be helpfull. U can also ask all the people ur inviting, as ur inviting them. Also its your party so put in a few songs that you cant live without.
Hope i helped! Good Luck And Have Fun!
XOXO,

Instead of assuming their tastes based on age, why not ask them? I'm 18 and my favorite singer is Bjork, for example. Go around and ask them.
Well ask all of ur friends. that could be helpfull. U can also ask all the people ur inviting, as ur inviting them. Also its your party so put in a few songs that you cant live without.
Hope i helped! Good Luck And Have Fun!
XOXO,
Tasha

OK, what you want is a ';reading bible'; - not any sort of ';study bible';.
Beyond that, it really depends on you. No one bible suits everyone! This site will guide you step by step in choosing the right bible version for you
http://www.BibleSelector.com
This will also be useful in helping you to make a final decision
http://www.bibleselector.com/reading_lev…
If you want a ';rough and ready'; recommendation...
For Evangelical or Fundamentalist Christians: the HCSB or the NIV. The NIV is good for more traditional sorts (and more biased toward evangelicals). A ';thin'; bible will keep the weight down without making the letters too small to read. Don't get a reference bible! Don't get a compact (text is really small)!
The HCSB ';Ultrathin Varsity'; at the bottom of this list looks like it will work for you if you are the sort of Christian I mentioned
http://www.bibleselector.com/r_hcsb_re.h…
For Roman Catholics, the New Jerusalem Bible Standard Edition.
http://www.bibleselector.com/r_njb_re.ht…
Excellent scholarly translation formally approved by the Roman Catholic Church without all of the notes included in the New American Bible.
For members of the Anglican Communion, the Cambridge Standard Text REB
http://www.bibleselector.com/r_reb_apoc_…
For Orthodox, the Oxford Text Edition
http://www.bibleselector.com/r_nrsv_us_a…
For other denominations, you will need to get back to me with more information before I can offer an ';off the cuff'; recommendation. Stepping through the site at that first link should help you to narrow down the version very well. Once you've decided on the version, I will be happy to make precise recommendations.

Message... AAAAaaahhhhh!!!!!! Nooooo!!!!!
that is a trendy translation. i dont do trendy translations.
believe me the KJV is lighter because it is one of two original translations.
itis beautifully written, modern translations loose so much from the origianl copy.... itis scary, you knwo what i recommend a KJV bible, as you already havean easy reading copy. you need o witness what you are missing out on.
you can always check your other version for A View of any bit yu find hard, but you must think fr yourself.
thats theproblem with translations, they give a view, te bible is deeper than that in the origianl copy.
the writing in the KJv is lovely and you are easily able to understand and read it, the bits you dont you ask for help with, thats how it works, weaker translations dont work,
we need encouragement to talk aboutthe bible not a weaker translation, it is intellectual food. But more importantly it is Gods word,i have read alittle of the message and it is slack in my view, it scared me. The bible saved my life, so i cannot really explain enough the importance.
i ahve read versions that i was glad i was not using a the time.
You Will Need Adictionary, but Enjoy that yo Are reading And Learning, its educational, the blessign is much richer. You will see.
If you are serious about your faith you should learn Koine Greek and get yourself a basic text of just the New Testament.
If you read through the New Testament diligently you will at least know which are the right questions to ask.
Very few believers ever get so far; but then - they don't want to.
please stop reading the bible and going to church. i know you think you're being moral and you really believe it, but if you had half a brain you'd just give it up. it really is a dumb idea and we've grown out of it as a culture. just read cat's cradle instead, that will tell you everything.
English Standard Version. They also do a pocket-sized edition, which is obviously lightweight, but as you'd expect, the print is smaller than the regular size.
The best bible for teenagers is Richard Dawkins' ';The God Delusion.';
(stop allowing your parents to brainwash you....)
.
I had a hard time getting a GOOD copy of the scriptures recently. To avoid at least 2 of the 8 deviations to God's word, I bought the St. Joseph's edition. It may notbe perfect, but.
I thought there was supposed to be only one Bible.
If, in fact, there are many different Bibles, which one is supposed to be the true word of God?
this has got to be a joke

Does anyone know a good website where alot of good-looking black teenagers are located?
I'm young and single. I need a fine young black teen to be with meDoes anyone know a good website where alot of good-looking black teenagers are located?
Go meet one in person.
And don't let race be a factor in who you choose. It's so shallow. Race is nothing but arbitrary lines drawn to divide people based on superficial physical characteristics.Does anyone know a good website where alot of good-looking black teenagers are located?
Everyone DON'T. Why trust this chap what if he/she is a child abuser or something. If you are looking for someone there are other ways. Don't ask pple to do something they may regret.
try a dating service online or a high school
well they no longer allow teen chat sites so the best thing for you to do is just go to the local mall and find one there.
that's kinda dangerous dont u think??
nope
umm i dont know any site sorry but like looking to date someone from online thingy is not such a good idea... well go to the mall alot of girls in there lol .. anyway good luck dude
