In what ways do the media influences children?

The media influences children in many ways. For instance: if a young girl (or boy) constantly sees people in the media who weigh 85 pounds, they might come to believe she's overweight, and form an eating disorder. Other children will see people doing drugs, having sexual relationships, etc. and might think it's "cool". Music, TV shows, movies, and many more things influence kids every day. Not everything is bad, though. If a kid reads in an article that celebrities are "Going Green", they might think THAT is cool, and decide to help.
