TV media as the most common mass media, it cause advertisements are also around us every day. There is an important effect to teenagers. Advertising is to affect people's attitudes change through persuasion; teenagers are particularly vulnerable to the temptation, so I think advertisements are harmful to teenagers. First of all, teenagers’ age and psychological are not yet mature, the large degree of negative TV advertisements will affect their view of society and values. Teenagers will think that they can get lots of fashion information from advertisements because advertisers always invite the famous stars to endorse their produces. And then, teenagers will accord the advertisements to consumer goods, according to the advertisements said that to dress and according to the advertising guidelines to beer and skittles. I think that those things are not good for teenagers. Second, the loan advertisements flood in the market, they made the loan as a common thing, it will let teenagers produce an incorrect financial concepts. Nowadays, teenagers will easier to tend to materialism, but almost teenagers are not very rich. Teenagers do not have the habit of saving nowadays, when they really want to buy one thing but they don’t have enough money, they will borrow money by their parents or friends. I think this type of advertising will more affect teenager's idea; they will think that it is very easy to get money. It will make teenagers to develop a wasteful habit. Finally, I think the slogans of advertisements are also affect teenagers. Several years ago, there is a slogan of wristwatch advertisement; it is very famous until today. It is‘It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.’ It changed the views of young people on love. Young people are easy to be influenced by outside, this way, when teenagers are influenced by these advertisements, gradually, they will have a wrong thinking of the view of love. In conclusion, teenager is the

    My Response: I think advertisements aimed at teenagers are effective. Most of today’s social media is filled with teens. Many of the teen population today also have jobs of their own which enable them to purchase something they like when they see it and if they want it more than likely they will get it if they’re able to themselves. Also, if a teen sees something on an advertisement and they get it then there’s a chance than another teen may see them with and want it. It could create a chain reaction. Most advertisements for technology that are aimed towards teenagers. The ads want to advertise something that would be advanced for teens.…

    Some advocates of advertising describe that ads boost our economy and encourage competition among business. Although this may be true, it is at the expense of our impressionable youth. One of the largest consumer markets in today’s society is that of teenagers. Nancy Day says that, “teens establish buying habits [that] will carry into adulthood” (Source D). With an increasing amount of purchasing power, teenagers have been targeted by businesses wanting to integrate their product into the teenager’s lives. Teenagers are also easily swayed—yet another reason why businesses attempt to attract teenagers. Advertisements negatively affect teenagers by presenting unrealistic situations and bad moral behavior. For example, teenage girls are influenced by stick-skinny models in magazines to have ultra-slim figures. This mind frame can cause unhealthy eating habits and disorders. Teenagers are also influenced to use alcohol and tobacco through advertisements. One cannot get through a commercial break on TV without seeing an advertisement for a brand of beer. Drinking alcohol is shown to be fun and therefore teenagers want to take part in whatever activity that is being shown. “Advertisers claim that it is up to the consumer to make moral decisions. The advertisers simply present their products” (Source F). However, it is the advertisers who “[spend] a great deal of time and money to study how best to attract and control consumers of…
