3. "STUDY FOUND THAT TEENS WHO
ARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MORE
THAN TWO HOURS A DAY, A FULL
ONE-QUARTER OF STUDENTS IN THE
STUDY, REPORT POOR SELF-RATED
MENTAL HEALTH, PSYCHOLOGICAL
DISTRESS, SUICIDAL IDEATION OR
UNMET NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH
SUPPORT."

TRENDS
"What our research is suggesting is that maybe our brains
as adolescents and digital natives have adapted to this
media influence and because we've grown up with it we're
able to cope with all these different stimuli."
5. "Based on a recent Newsweek poll,
77% of Americans believe that
celebrities have too much of an
influence on young girls. This effect
is especially evident in their
appearance and attitudes."
6. NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF
CELEBRITY INFLUENCE
"Social media — Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram,
SnapChat — and celebrities
have created a highly-charged
24/7 cycle of unrealistic body
images that your teen may
aspire to."
- Dr. Gail Gross
Celebrity Impact =
Tremendous power
8. OVERALL, THE
ANSWER IS NOT
CLEAR
* HOWEVER
" Celebrities who show
integrity in their personal
and professional lives,
such as obeying the laws
and honoring their
relationships, are positive
role models for teenagers"
10. So what now?
Is it possible to prevent teenagers from
being influenced in a negative way by
celebrities?
This can be difficult due to the over-exposure of
celebrities in the media and society.
11. WHO IS BEING
INFLUENCED?
*
" One in four teenagers
admit they are more
influenced by celebrities
than people they know,
according to a new survey. "
"More than half of the 2,700
13-18-year-olds surveyed felt
no connection with their
local community, the study
found."
12. PARENTS HAVE
THEIR WORK CUT
OUT FOR THEM
IMPACT
Celebrities have
tremendous power over
youth. This is evident in
everyday life.
14. The youth are
able to
distinguish
between the
negative and
positive aspects
It becomes a matter of
whether or not:
15. WHETHER IT BE
TELEVISION OR
CELLPHONES:
1 IT IS
INEVITABLE
Youth will be affected
either way. It becomes
difficult to separate
themselves between media
and real life.
