How can social media have an effect on teens in relationships?

[Nelz]

Explain how social media ( TV, Magazines, Newspapers, Facebook, Twitter, BBm) can either have a positive or negative impact on teenagers in relationships. Help? Anyone...

It DOESN'T affect a mature, intelligent young man or woman. But to the immature and very young teens, they DO become icons. The immature will try to imitate these punks, all the while these punks are rich and they can do whatever they feel like with no repercussions while the immature young kid is going to be laughed at or hated for dressing like that punk. Also, men and women that are together for more than a year, don't passionately kiss every chance they get like you would see on tv or the movies. It takes somebody with a loose wire in their brain to be influenced by any of this stuff to a large degree. When I was young, I watched Moe stick a hot iron down Curlys pants. I saw Moe hit Larry on the head with a sledge hammer, I saw Moe stick his fingers in Larry AND Curlys eyes. I was very young, yet I NEVER would do that to anybody. So it is the weak minded, that I believe would have gone off sooner or later anyway, who are influenced by the media.
