Sexuliazation

With music videos becoming racier and racier, and the lives of popstars being followed even more closely, the effect seems to be moving to our adolescents and affecting them more than anyone else. Kids are at a much younger age becoming sexualized and trying to emulate their favourite celebrities by dressing and acting like them.

This is leading to many girls beginning to dress in less clothing at a younger age. With this, many music videos show promiscuous women, and kids are beginning to try to emulate that. This is lead to the development of sex lives and a knowledge of sexual acts at an early age that was not found to be this common ten years ago.

On the male side of things, many of the males in videos are portrayed as being players. This spend money and get many women lifestyle seems to be prominent among lyrics and videos. Along with this, like what has been being seen with girls over past years, the male body is becoming increasingly and increasingly standardized to being hairless and having chiselled muscles. This body image is beginning to become closer and closer to the one many girls think they have to be like.

In the end, it is important to try and find a way to return youth to the young kids and allow them an opportunity to still have more innocent fun before their life becomes complicated by sex. The best way to do this would be to have frank and open discussions with children and talk about what they are seeing in movies, tv and music videos.
