Which of the following has most negatively affected young women's mental health?

Twilight

Justin Timberlake / NSync / Backstreet Boys

Justin Bieber

Disney (outside of childhood)

Texting

[MandMandM]

The fashion media which puts too much of a person's self worth in how others perceive their appearance. The first three poll choices are just stuff the mags tell girls to like.

It would be interesting to know if men or women control the press that seeks to manipulate so many women.

L-o-v-e your icon. Should be an album cover.

[PsychedelicZebra]

Yes that is very true the fashion media destroys women, but that wouldn't have been much of a poll if I threw that in, too one-sided. Whoever controls it, they are starting to get to men now, a lot of meat heads out there. Thanks for the icon props.

Disney affected Miley Cyrus' mental health, by being f***ing crazy, and she's a young woman, so I picked them. Don't think any have had a considerable affect on girls' general mental health though.

[PsychedelicZebra]

Haha yeah she's a mess. What worries me is the 40+ girls who still collect disney figurines... scary

[KarKingJack]

Lol, nah she's alright. The people who had her signed f***ed her up badly though, there was some crazy, like, Korean Brainwashing sh*t going down there. Gave me the shivers.

Hahahaha, yeah, jesus christ. That's true.

I voted Twilight. Even though I like the saga, wayyyyyy too many girls think that the relationship between Edward and Bella is healthy. Newsflash - it's not. It's borderline creepy. Edward Cullen is a dead fictional character and he will not love you.

[PsychedelicZebra]

The thing about being a guy is, no matter how hard you tried to avoid twilight, it was everywhere and girls like to talk about it.

[Brooke03]

Yeah 12 year olds. It's quite pathetic. He's dead. And a poor excuse for a boyfriend.

[Brooke03]

Thanks for best answer.

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

I would say the media, such as beauty magazines and Reality T.V shows.

[ManaX]

I agree, none of the above.

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

Yup I did a presentation on how the media affected girls psychologically and caused eating disorders along with the fact that the media distorts images

[PsychedelicZebra]

Yes but everybody knows that the media is evil and destroys women... the thing about these things, is women actually idolize them. Well all except texting. If you worship texting, I'm sorry you have bigger problems than the media.

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

Its culture and the way women are brought up along with peer pressure also that makes them look up to the media.

[cjwright79]

I submit that the popularity of that sh*t is a symptom of, not a cause of, shoddy character.

[PsychedelicZebra]

Deep but depressing... that's a lot of shoddy characters then

[cjwright79]

Yeah well it takes a long time for human beings to mature in this day and age. Better to obsess over Twilight than Days of Our Lives.

[Elisha22]

I would say the Media and the Internet!

But you didn't have those up there so I voted texting (picture mail too)

[SocietysBomb]

LOL... I don't like any of those, well I text but not obsessively.

[PsychedelicZebra]

No wonder you turned out alright lol

[SocietysBomb]

lol, naw that's probably why I turned out f***ed up :p

[JohnGPL]

I would say Disney, just because of the stupid amount of media they control.

[PsychedelicZebra]

That is true, they have a pretty decent distribution channel. I did like the Lion King, though.

[Nicolle88]

what? Backstreet boys are awesome. I so miss them!

I'm a girl, I messed up when I created my account =/

[rdr005]

Doesn't look like you invested too much into this site yet :-P you should redo your account, or e-mail gag support to see if it can be changed. lol. But is this a case of "technology affecting a young girl's health?" (lol)

[KarKingJack]

LOL, yeah make a new account. You can't get it changed =/

Lol@technology affecting a young girls health

[Anonymous]

Disney!

it gives us a false sense of happily ever after.

[Arwens-Fire]

It's the media in general and even technology.

[PsychedelicZebra]

Technology? Interesting. How so do you mean?

[MikeK]

Disney is the most widespread
