Media strongly affects youth culture. The media executives are quick to defend their role

Television viewing frequently limits children’s time for vital activities such as playing, reading, learning to talk, spending time with peers and family, storytelling, participating in regular exercise, and developing other necessary physical, mental and social skills

The average child sees 12,000 violent acts on television annually, including many depictions of murder and rape.
Television viewing makes a substantial contribution to obesity because prime time commercials promote unhealthy dietary practices
Television exposes children to adult sexual behaviours in ways that portray these actions as normal and risk-free, sending the message that because these behaviours are frequent, ‘everybody does it’. Sex between unmarried partners is shown 24 times more often than sex between spouses (32–35), while sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy are rarely mentioned.
Many youths are not properly educated on what the outcomes are from committing unsafe sex
Television can also contribute to eating disorders in teenage girls, who may emulate the thin role models seen on television (8). Eating meals while watching television should be discouraged because it may lead to less meaningful communication and, arguably, poorer eating habits

Studies show that parents play an important role in their children’s social learning (44), but if a parent’s views are not discussed explicitly with children, the medium may teach and influence by default.
parents must realize that they do play a huge role in what their child watches!
Music videos may reinforce false stereotypes.
Parents may feel outsmarted or overwhelmed by their children’s computer and Internet abilities, or they may not appreciate that the ‘new medium’ is an essential component of the new literacy, something in which their children need to be fluent.
technology is constantly improving and parents should want to learn how to use the new technology so that they can keep up with their children and know what their children are doing
Music lyrics have become increasingly explicit, particularly with references to sex, drugs and violence.
Some video games may help the development of fine motor skills and coordination, but many of the concerns about the negative effects of television (eg, inactivity, asocial behaviour and violence) also apply to excessive exposure to video games.
Up to 75% of videos contain sexually explicit material (45), and more than half contain violence that is often committed against women. Women are portrayed frequently in a condescending manner that affects children’s attitudes about sex roles.
The effect of violent video games on children has been a public health concern for many years.

Before discussing the influence of mass media on society it is imperative to explain the three basic functions of mass media; they are providing news/information, entertainment and education
Despite social media has its drawbacks, there are benefits to social media on the youth. Mass media could be used to voice people's opinion, and shares knowledge with others.
As noted earlier, the media can have a negative effect on the youth;however, there are some good things the media can do. According to this web site, the media can be a good thing:
"Media makes the lives of the people at ease, along with Information and Communication Technologies; they produce to increase the standard of living for the people to spend time..."
Media is a way for young people to voice their opinion via Facebook, email, or Twitter (along with many more web sites). Media is also a way for people to stay informed on particular topics. Media is a way to get information to people, which is a positive effect on younger people.

Limit the number of TV-watching hours:
Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment (books, kids' magazines, toys, puzzles, board games, etc.) to encourage kids to do something other than watch the tube.
Keep TVs and internet connections out of bedrooms.
Turn the TV off during meals.
Don't allow kids to watch TV while doing homework.
Treat TV as a privilege to be earned — not a right. Establish and enforce family TV viewing rules, such as TV is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.
TV and other electronic media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development.
Have your kids watch public television stations (some programs are sponsored — or "brought to you" — by various companies, although the products they sell are rarely shown).
Record programs — without the commercials.
Buy or rent children's videos or DVDs.
TV is full of programs and commercials that depict risky behaviors (such as drinking alcohol, doing drugs, smoking cigarettes, and having premarital sex) as cool, fun, and exciting. And often, there's no discussion about the consequences of those actions.
But despite its advantages, too much television can be detrimental:
Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight.
Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them.
TV characters often depict risky behaviors, such as smoking and drinking, and also reinforce gender-role and racial stereotypes.
And although they've banned cigarette ads on television, kids and teens can still see plenty of people smoking on programs and movies airing on TV. This kind of "product placement" makes behaviors like smoking and drinking alcohol seem acceptable. In fact, kids who watch 5 or more hours of TV per day are far more likely to begin smoking cigarettes than those who watch less than the recommended 2 hours a day.
The first 2 years of life are considered a critical time for brain development
Children that are exposed to television before the age of two, and more than two hours a week are more likely to see violence, risky behaviors, and are more likely to become obese. There is a rating system to help parents restrict their kids from watching specific programs. This article also teaches parents good habits to use while watching TV.
