Television: Teens Mimic What They See

"Mom!" No-No hollered from her room. "You wouldn't believe what Fred has done to her face."

Actually there was never telling what my oldest had done to her face, her arms, her legs, and even her hair. She was my artsy-fartsy child and was known to paint  things on herself.

 
Anyway, that morning she bounced a pair of Dorothy-like-braids as she came out of her room.  Hand-drawn colorful flowers and vines trailed along her brows and around her eyes. But that was nothing compared to this:


Last year, it appeared that Kylie Jenner had grown a pair of gi-normous lips. It happened out of nowhere. According to little Miss Jenner, she never had lip surgery. She had stated that she was "just really good with lip liner."

Twitter and Instagram photos of Kylies larger-than-sister-KK's butt-lips spawned the #KylieJennerChallenge

Teens have been injuring themselves by placing bottles, cups, aspirin bottles, and even deodorant caps. over their lips and sucking in to make a suction. After so many seconds they pop their mouths out of the containers. It's a drooling mess and has caused bleeding and bruising and a lot of swollen lips.

I'm thankful Fred danced to her own drum instead of following some slutty-self-absorbed-celeb.

Still think television and media aren't brainwashing us? Dangerous? If a celebrity can get your kid to do this, what else can they lead them to do?

Here are some other articles on this if you're interested:





I hope everyone has a great week. Thursdays, I will begin an on-line novel: The Immoral. Chapter 1 will be posted this week. I will make sure these chapters stay at 300 to 600 words.

Hugs and chocolate, all!
