      Accuracy - author cites her own sources in article
  • But to hazard a guess based on clear evidence that media representations influence teenage eating, smoking and drinking habits, adolescents are almost certainly affected — negatively — by sexual references and images from television, in movies and video games, in music, in magazines and on Web sites.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Relevance - the information is related to my topic because it answers how media affects the youth which is negatively. parents are the intended audience for this article
  • There is growing concern that youth are accessing media in environments isolated from the supervision or guidance of parents or other adults,"
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      parents have no idea what their children are doing when they aren't around them
  • Despite the advent of V-chips, movie ratings and televised warnings of appropriateness for young people, American teenagers have no trouble getting access to graphic sexual presentations.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      kids can get access to things that parents might not want them seeing, whether it be asking an older sibling or asking a friend
  • "Approximately 47 percent of high school students have had sexual intercourse. Of these, 7.4 percent report having sex before the age of 13, and 14 percent have had four or more sexual partners."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      having sex at a young age only seems to be more common now then it was before which is something that parents should be aware of
  • The effect of abstinence-only education pales by comparison with the many graphic messages that portray sexual activity — especially unprotected sex outside of marriage — to be a part of our culture as normal and acceptable as eating a Big Mac or drinking a Coke.
  • Each year, nearly 900,000 teenage girls in the United States become pregnant (340,000 are 17 or younger). The rates of sexually transmitted diseases are higher among teenagers than among adults, and 35 percent of girls have been pregnant at least once by age 20.
  • Data suggest that sexually active adolescents are at high risk for depression and suicide,"
  • "Early sexual experience among adolescents has also been associated with other potentially health-endangering behaviors, such as alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      doing one bad thing seems to lead to doing other bad things
  • The research indicated that adolescents who watched shows with sexual content tended to overestimate the frequency of certain sexual behaviors and to have more permissive attitudes toward premarital sex.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      sometimes what is portrayed on tv about sex and other topic is not as realistic as one may think
  • The sexual content of TV is pervasive and increasing.
  • "On average," it continued, "each hour of programming popular with teens had 6.7 scenes that included sexual topics."
  • As for the Internet, one national survey of 10- to-17-year-olds found that one in five had "inadvertently encountered explicit sexual content, and one in five had been exposed to an unwanted sexual solicitation while online."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      the internet sometimes tends to leads the youth to websites that are not meant to be seen by them 
  • The report called for better studies to assess the effects of sexuality in the mass media on adolescent beliefs and behavior
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      research is constantly going on about these various topics that may help us better understand since it still isn't perfect
  • The New York Times Company
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Accuracy - the article is published in a major newspaper, therefore the author herself sites the different information in her article to support her information
  •  
    This article summarizes how media negatively affects children. It specifically talked about how mass media influence sexual behavior among the youth. sexual behavior beginning at a young age has led youth to doing other bad things that go along with it whether it be smoking or drinking, etc.
