While watching tv on the MTV channel I came across this commercial which is about a teenage girl who gets into drugs and eventually loses control of her life. Throughout the commercial there is no talking but a catchy song that goes "1,2 kicked out of school, 3,4 snort some more, 5,6 need my fix, 7,8 feels too late." While watching it I was disgusted after seeing how she looked after the drugs hit her and I also think it gives a good message. However, I feel adults target teens too often when it comes to drugs because they seem to think we are the only ones who do drugs and think most of us are heavily into it. This relates to the key concept media as a construction of reality because they make it seem like all teens are into drugs and they air it on a channel that mainly teenagers/young adults watch.
