Kellz, I totally understand what you mean...it's the pop culture, and consumer-generated/mass-produced goods society too

girls are like that because they watch too much of stupid Canadian tv and follow everything they see back in high-school

in terms of beauty/stupidity - there are exceptions to this rule though

They watch too much stupid American TV as well....I grew up on the good old American TV but luckily I didn't get sucked into the pop culture as a teenager. Too many girls get so wrapped up in trying to be like those celebrities, they lose sight of who they really are.

It was kind of funny...when my mother and I were watching this episode of Oprah I asked her during commercials "Mom....I wonder how different I would have been if I wouldn't have gotten into dance music and it's whole underground culture and just listened to hip hop and pop music" she quickly cuts me off and goes "I'm quite glad you didn't, and don't want to think about if you had" ahahah

it's not what you listen to - i listen to russian pop even now sometimes, I had all Backstreet Boys/Spice Girls albums as well as Britney's first 2 albums, yet I'm *me*

it's how those girls are brought up at home, how much interest they take in outside world - since I came here 3 years ago, it seems like ppl here (and not just females) have more interest in tonight's episode of Simpsons/Family Guy/Seinfield/insert the name of any other show then in what's happening just over the ocean or across the border

if girls or boys are influenced so highly by some bunch of crap that they are told on tv/see in movies, it's just shows the level of intelligence that is present in them

Look at all these teenagers that listen to "hip pop" music....and watch the videos on MTV. Tell me those videos aren't affecting the way they view themselves. If you are constantly bombarded with images of women being treated like objects and men referrng to them as "bitches and hoes", how is that not going to affect you growing up? Even when I was living in a dorm the girls I lived with were into pop culture and sure enough, they acted like this...relying on celebrity styles and referring to each other as "bitch or slut or whore". These kids are intelligent, it's just so many are raised by TVs and spend so much time immersed in that world of television that they forget they are living their own lives.

I'm not a feminist by all means....but I do believe that if kids are raised on images that media today projects, it won't do anything for their views on each other in the future.

no hun, i totally agree!

but if you keep your head up above it all, i'm sure you manage to stay *normal*...the whole hip/hop culture has been around as long as the pop-culture...well ok, some of the negative stuff about it has been surfacing much more in the recent 5-10 years

it is pretty sad how really young teenage girls, like 13-14 go around looking like they are retired hoe's - all the bling bling, and make up and all the dirty talk, it's almost pathetic actually!

i honestly think TV being probably greatest creation of the mankind, is also its worst

I find intelligent women superior to dumb, ignorant, whatever you want to call it less inclined girls.

I think of it as mental foreplay..

i totally agree with you. imo your parents will have the strongest influence on who you are and what your personality is like....anything else like the meida, what kind of music you listen to etc is just icing on the cake

oh definitely!

in my country we have a saying - an apple doesn't fall far off the apple tree, meaning you can't get away from the upbringing of your parents

This is true....but when your parents stick you infront of a TV and expect that to raise you...you are raised by the media.

that means parents don't give a shit, that's their way of upbringing you, which is not good

when I was growing up, mum would actually limit my TV watching time, and she wouldn't let me watch some shows either

she would either kick me out to play in the fresh air or take me out and about the town or beach
