I think if anyone of any age is looking for acceptance from the people they want to be around, they will mimic them before they derive any "direction" from the media. That said, it is widely accepted that the idealist image of celebrities is portrayed in the media as the way we SHOULD look and dress. But some tortured souls try to force their image type into one that causes more pain than self-acceptance. The media is a dangerous and misleading way for teens to get "advice" for how to look or for feeling good about themselves.

They are always telling people (especially women) if you are not beautiful and wear a size 0 and weigh 80 lbs you are not worth anything. They don't say that in exactly those words but their ads sure do.

the teens see the photos ,they want to look like the people in the ads ,and want to be loved like the people in the articles .teens are old enough to want and young enough not to be jaded ,they don't know when they are being lie to.
