Unhealthy: I think that the media, accurately so, has depicted teen health as having issues with obesity, and, therefore, portrayed teens to be unhealthy.

Media: Media reflects our society in general. Media is one way teens get information, just like family, school etc. There are positive views and there are some that are detrimental to the development of physical, mental, sexual and financial health to teens. Education from authentic sources will teach us how to judge the value of the media reports. Mere information, of course, is not knowledge.
