Teens in the Media

1.      Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner are very popular teenagers in the media. They're mentioned just about anywhere. Through Instagram, Facebook and even in the news. They are both famous for being the daughters of Kris and Bruce (whose now Caitlyn) Jenner, part of the Kardashian family. They are labelled as teen idols in the media. Its like all teen girls are supposed to drool over their looks and fame. They shows off themselves, as most celebrities do, but its way too much. There isnt much of a difference between both Kylie and Kendall because they are exactly the same type of person. I dont think they are much of an accurate image of teens because not all teen girls are crazy over fashion and pop culture as much as they are. Myself, do not like either of the Jenners because of how they act and how girls treat them.

2.     Secret Life of an American Teenager, a very good show I use to like, and iCarly are both fairly different shows. Secret Life of an American Teenager is about a girl who ends up pregnant and much more drama occurs after that. Whereas in iCarly, its about a group of young teens, two girls and a boy, who have an internet webcast. Secret Life of an American Teenager is more on the side of real life when compared to teenagers these days. Not saying all girls are "doing things they shouldn't be doing" but it seems like a majority are. iCarly is more on the side of teens having fun and staying out of trouble. I feel like both these shows relate to all teenagers because every teen deals with a lot of life struggles and yet, can have fun and stay out of trouble. Most shows about teens are very typical and not accurate at all such as Beverly Hills 90210.
