Cruise news, trip tips, kids' brand loyalty pitches at cheerleading camps, sports and spa getaways... Who's sponsoring your 'fun?' Are you aware?

Buffed Boy Body Image and Teen Scene ‘Hottie’ Factor

June 24, 2008 by Amy Jussel 32 Comments

My Daughter Drank the Kool-Aid: Media Moments in Adolescence

June 23, 2008 by Amy Jussel 21 Comments

Media's power has an odd way of sneaking up on you at unexpected moments...Remember this one I wrote about preteen body/beauty influence? Well, this weekend, she eagerly tapped into wikipedia and YouTube to get the scoop on how to dye the ends of her long blonde hair with Kool-Aid unsweetened bright red cherry mix in an attempt to 'look like a rocker,' using her own sitting … [Read more...]
