What makes someone an adult? Is it being married and having a family? Or is it just being 18? To most adults, if you're 18, your not an adult. But to us 18 year olds, we are adults. Pretty much from puberty on, you are growing and changing more than ever in life. There are so many things that are going to happen that you need to be prepared for. By age 11, girls are looking at themselves trying to become a 17 year old that theyre not. At Justice, which used to be Limited Too, there are the same clothes that they have at Hollister or Abercrombie, thats not for them. These kids are dressing like sluts, just to try to fit in with society. It seems like everyone is at the same pace, no matter age. Everyone in our general age (10-15) in 2000 ish started wearing makeup around the same time. Its not age, its time.

Dora Dora Dora the Explorer..

The fact that Dora the Explorer is now a "tween" is beyond sad. These shows on channels for kids are meant to be for kids, not teenagers. So why do they make all these TV kids grow up? Dors is now a tween, Rugrats are now "All Grown Up". Its rediculous.

Hey Girl, Hey !

In Sociology this week we talked about what the stereotype of a teenage girl is. 5'10 and 110 pounds. Thats just gross. Thats not even proportional. Girls age 16-18 arent really influenced by media as much as by the girls they see everyday. The guys our age too make it seem that the only girls they like are the tall and skinny girls. Teenage girls and guys are just looking for "eye candy". They just want to look good next to the person they're with. In AP Psychology we learned that people date people that are of the same level of attractiveness as themselves. That shouldn't be right because it should all be personality rather than looks. Media makes such a big deal that all women need to look a certain way that even guys pick up on that and expect all girls to be like the girls in magazines. Since that's impossible, they look for the closes thing possible.
