Bad influence on teens?
have you ever noticed how theres so many movies that are rated PG-13 that have actors smoking in them for no reason. That definetly has a bad influence on teens. what would you do if you saw your fav actor/actirise smoking? And not just smoking, but acohol and drugs too. Plus violence, like fighting and guns. Horor movies probably aren't the best thing ether. So you could try talking about that.
Reply:weed,barfing to stay skinny,etc...
Reply:Somethign that'll effect them. Our culture and media is affectig our teens every single day. What to wear what to say and do. MAgazines tell teens to have sex, and be thin, and be pretty and stylish, and cool in school. I mean there is even a show that tells you how ot be sexy NAKED!Now a days its all about sex and porn. It's ahrmful to teens cause the teen birth rate is getting higher and higher...that aint good.
Reply:you should do things on celebrities, drugs, the media, etc. on what influences them, and you should mention where they grow up and how that effects them
Reply:After reading some of the responses please consider that a substance or an object can not influence anybody!





Only people can influence other people; so your speech should focus on how a person can influence another, and on how teens need to be around positive people....again a substance (drug), an object (gun), cannot influence you, people do!
