Ads affect teens in many ways, it makes them independent buyers, it gives them self-esteem problems maybe even social anxiety trying to fit in uniquely and what not. Ads just say what teens want to hear and honestly, this could affect them emotionally and physiologically. They give them motivation to go out and buy their product. Let’s not forget when a teenager wants a product but their parents won’t buy it for them, the ads could make teens more secretive such as trying to buy something that costs a lot of money just to loom cool, but, didn’t ask for permission, or didn’t want anyone to know how much it cost of where they got it from. Teenagers want to look like the gorgeous models they’ve seen on television. Even boys want to look nice and skinny with all their muscles showing. Teens will change eating habits or stop eating to look The Incredible Hulk” and not realizing that everything that’s seen on tv is typically edited or fake. In the long run Ads will say anything to get teens to buy their products. Ads will say that their product will change
Advertisements are leading teens to have heart disease, asthma, high blood pressure, obesity, cancer and type two diabetes. These advertisements are giving the target audience, children, are having effects on their lives. Advertising is playing a horrible effect on the lives of youth because it is diminishing the health of our children, it can also make children need to have things to have a high social status. Also, the advertisements make children want to use their parent's money to buy what they want that is on television, but all they are doing is paying the people who are creating the advertisements.
Will Rogers once said, “Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.” Targeting youth by advertisements happens in all forms and advertising companies are the only ones getting the profit from it. Advertising affects the life of youths lives in many negative ways because it has skyrocketed health risks, lowers self-esteem and increases money spent by youth.
Yes, these advertisements are effective because they cause teens to want try these new things including food, electronics, amusement parks, etc. These same advertisements cause a huge monetary gain towards the things advertised and cause obesity due to the unhealthy food. I think they are unethical because psychologists who help advertisers are essentially helping them manipulate children to believe in the capitalistic message, when all the evidence shows that believing in that message is bad for people.

How do magazine advertisements affect you and people you know? They cause young women to feel negatively towards the way they look. Magazine advertisements send unhealthy signals to young women because they cause eating disorders and depression.
Advertising can lead to teens and kids making poor choices. 200 Billion dollars are pulled from the average teenage pocket every year from items that are advertised. For example 1 and every 3 people get some kind of diabetes before the age of 20 due to unhealthy eating. Almost every fast food restaurant has some kind of advertisement to lure people. Over 90% of fast food is unhealthy and can cause things such as cancer or diabetes. That's why I think Advertising can lead to kids and teens making poor choices.
The first role that advertisers play in the lives of youth is that advertisers overwhelm youth with lots of ads so youth feel pressured to buy things. First of all in the article “$211 Billion and So Much to Buy: American Youths,the New Big Spenders” it states in paragraph five that, “Tweens… have more consistent available access to vast amount of information then their parents or grandparents could have imagined their youth.” And in the article “Thanks to Ads, Kids Won’t Take No,No,No.No,No For an Answer” it states in paragraph three that, “ As unprecedented levels of advertising and marketing aimed at children feel intense pressure to

When watching different advertisements people will notice that each market segment is usually portrayed in a certain way. Thought advertisements society gets a sense of how people in their age group should be. While sometimes the advertisements get the portrayals right, while sometimes they are off and can hurt the self-esteems of the people watching it. One segment affected heavily by advertisements is teenagers. Advertising defines a teenager as the "cool kid" who is confident and usually values materialistic things like clothing and cell phones. Additionally teens are usually portrayed as the popular person who has many friends and is fit and good looking. For example, in the fall in love Aeropostale advertisement the viewer follows a girl throughout her day at school. The girl used in
In 2012 it was estimated that children spent over two hundred and eleven billion dollars because of ads. Advertisers like to target towards children because they know that children 8-10 are more vulnerable and want anything they see on tv so it's safe to say advertisers lead kids to make poor choices. Advertisers make over half a billion dollars a year, 50% of that is from targeting to children. Not only do ads lead kids to make poor choices , but it could lead to: injury or obesity.

With advertising showing harmful images that promote stereotypes and unhealthy obsessions with physical appearance, and material goods there is a population of people that find it harder and harder to separate real life from fictional promotional materials. Teenagers are customers trying to work towards being successful, feeling good about themselves, and being happy and satisfied. Currently, there are no mediums that inform today’s youth about how advertising will depict almost anything in order to sell products, with sometimes no basis on real life expectations. These pains are currently that teens are given unrealistic expectations on a variety of subjects ranging from things like body image to issues of diversity. Through events such as seminars and advertising campaigns, teenagers will get valuable and accurate information on how advertising distorts real life depictions such as the female form, realistic depictions of relationships and what it really takes to make one work, how real life parents should behave, the truth about mental health, and appropriate spending habits. The benefits that these campaigns would serve is to make adolescent life simpler and easier. By deconstructing myths perpetuated by current mass media cases of mental health issues based on body perception, and instances of harassment because of race, gender, or religious would decrease. With this education being widespread diversity and acceptance would skyrocket among today 's youth. This
Advertisements are made to sell products. And who better to sell these products to than tweens and teens. If they are won over today, they may become long-term customers. Tweens and teens also have a big influence on household spending, so anything goes. Advertisers will get you to buy by getting into your head.
