2. Try to seek out different things in the media! Go beyond the popular *teen* shows, check out news sites, watch some informative and fun documentaries, and learn about different countries, governments, and people. Don't let the media take advantage of you - take advantage of the media! I really hope you realize how much power you all have in what you see and what you learn from the media - you are in control, not anyone else!
3. Keep an open mind on what you see, whether it's in the media or in real life. You'll see a lot of things around you and on the Internet and TV: "traditional" values, "alternative" lifestyles, etc., etc. One day you will be able to find yourself, hopefully apart from any labels. Just keep an open mind. It'll protect you and help carry you far.
All the best wishes as you navigate through the rest of your teen years! Hope to see you all on some leading stages (politics, business, media or otherwise) some day soon!!
