Are the media a bad influence?
Kirsty is 15 years old. She likes doing what every other girl her age enjoys. She goes to school, she watches TV and goes shopping with her friends. But Kirsty has an ambition: she wants to be a model.

Every week, she saves her pocket money to buy magazines. She studies the photos of famous models. They are her role models. Kirsty’s mother, Stella, is not happy. ‘It’s OK to have ambitions,’ she says, ‘But in Kirsty’s case it’s becoming an obsession. She thinks about it all the time.’ According to Stella, Kirsty does not have a healthy diet and she exercises more than normal because she wants to be thin. She worries that Kirsty is developing an eating disorder.

The media are responsible for this situation,’ her mum says. ‘All the teen magazines and teen programmes on TV tell children that the only important thing is how you look - your appearance. They say, “You want to be happy? Then be thin!”’

Are the media really responsible for situations like Kirsty’s? Kirsty’s big sister Donna, 18, disagrees. ‘I buy lots of magazines but I don’t want to be like the people in them,’ says Donna. ‘Magazines show you all kinds of people, not just celebrities. They give information and have nice pictures. That’s why I like them.’

So, who is right? Do the media decide how we look and how we live? Are we all becoming obsessed with celebrities and their lifestyles?
