Stop Advertising through Sex, Drugs & Violence
One of three winning articles from our essay contest on the Media from Bearden H.S.
Dear Company;
There are a lot of things I find wrong with what you (advertising companies) are advertising. There are millions of kids, teenagers, and adults who are influenced by the things you advertise every day. I know you’re making money but do you really want your children and other kids growing up in an environment where sex, drugs, and violence are the only things talked about? I really think you should consider creating a more positive and clean media for younger people. A benefit will come of it. As a teenager I am very concerned because I know there are a lot of things I have seen and heard that have an impact on my actions. I wish you would just consider what I am asking of you.
