All I hear on the radio is stupid lyrics with a beat. The ludicrous things these songs have are no way of teaching us how to live. The provocative lyrics make no sense and can make teens prone to more animalistic behaviors. The media doesn't help at all either. On commercials you see half dressed girls dancing around all over the place sending out subliminal messages of "wearing this can make you attractive." Most people would agree with me when i say that everyone is beautiful and unique in there own way and teens shouldn't be overwhelmed to try to act like something they aren't or wearing alluring clothing when they want to be treated with respect. We have our own minds and we don't need to be victimized by the media.


The author's comments:
I made this piece because every time I listen to a specific genre of music it gets me upset that this is the kind of music that is popular and the type of clothing my peers wear (mostly girls) is the new style everyone wants. I believe this also sets a bad example to the younger genrations of whats good and bad.

Ditto!  I don't think we should be victimized like this.  We can't run away from the media, it's everywhere.  I think the best thing we can do is not support the provacative products by not buying them.  What else do you think we can do?
