Media

  1. TV, movies, video games, Internet, music and magazines are the most under-rated influence on you as a teen.
  2. Most forms of media promote sexual activity without informing you about its consequences.
  3. The media many times glamorizes teen drinking and sex without showing potential physical and emotional risks that can last al lifetime.
  4. Teens who are continually exposed to television with sexual content are more likely to overestimate the frequency of some sexual behaviors and have more permissive attitudes toward sex
