Teen Representation in the Media

Justin Bieber has been in the music industry for a long time since he was 13 but got discovered way before he was 13, when the first song "one time" came out everybody was in love with Justin Bieber. but they didn't really know who he is as an actual person, Justin as a very popular superstar they like publish him as an a**hole, he grew with people always watching him, be basically has no privacy, i guess the price of being a famous star.

there are stuff he has done but people do way worse then what he as done, they put him down more because hes famous and everybody expects him to be perfect. nobody's perfect.

Many articles of Justin point out the bad in celebs and publish it. theirs not one thing that's positive that they published, people got understand that famous people are human. In the popular industry its "you got to be sexy", "you got to be fit" and "you got to look a certain way". the pop industry is hectic and you shouldn't believe everything you see on t.v because they change it to what its not, its almost like acting.

Katy Perry grew up in a christian family, she is also a very well known pop star, she has done many advertisement for make up. she was discovered in 2007 and started playing guitar when she was 13. She has received 85 awards from 298 nominations, for songs and wrote 7 songs for other artists. She was raised by strictly religious parents that only let her and her siblings read the bible and listen to gospel music.She grew up and decided to leave all that behind and become a pop star. She is still tied to her religion though.She has a tattoo that says Jesus on her left wrist.She says it reminds her where she came from.She also likes to party! Her friends say she is tons of fun and she is very funny and comical.She is a prankster.

merchants of cool

Merchants of cool

If I were training a "cool hunter" to come into my school, I'd train the students to be themselves, dress like themselves because if you're yourself them people know the real you, I'd encourage them that they don't need to look or dress like that person to be cool, because if you fake yourself into something your not you'll be confused, you'd be stuck in someone else is path in life.

Then afterwards the real you will be lost, because you wouldn't get to know yourself, you'd become tired and stressed of trying to be cool being popular isn't really that cool, being you is your natural self that's cool.

"cool hunters" are making the teen into someone there not, something that isn't realistic, everybody wants to be cool now and days but having a teen in that kind of situation can be tough, because they will start to think the real me isn't this or that, But if I'm this I can be cool. they will get into that mindset having to say or think "I have to", because there getting money for being someone there not and once there in it gets depression I say rich and unhappy but all people are not the same some people like the attention and money but what about when your alone and the thoughts eat at you because everybody knows you but doesn't really know the real you, everybody has there share of opinions this is just mine.

Societal conscious achievers:

I'd say I'm a societal achiever because I know I don't fit in the rest of the categories. i don't buy stuff to have other people like me, I'm basically myself, yes I do wear tomes, flats. I'm not that athletic but I do,do sports out of school such as judo, teak-won-do I used to dance. I nature, i love walks and beautiful days in the sun. I eat whatever I want to. I wear whatever I want to.

Emulators:

I'd say my Boyfriend Dave, its doesn't absolutely describe him he is in search of of an identity in adult working world. his self-confidence is not always the best but, I always try help him in the best way I can. Dave doesn't try buy things to be cool. Dave does wear under Amour. he does wear AXE.
Dave is his own person.

Emulator-Achievers: My brother would probably be an Emulator-Achiever because he always has to buy the new stuff, but only if he has the money, I think he just trying to like the same things as his Girlfriend. hes been different lately.
