Girls and women are continuously portrayed as objects of desire. They are degraded in television and movies both subtly and blatantly. Examples of this devaluation of woman's sexually can be found everywhere from high end clothing advertisements to cult classic films like Jack Frost (the horror film). Girls are pushed to dress sexier, be skinner and to continue to keep up with the latest trends. If they do not abide by these social expectations and peruse things like careers, they are often labeled negatively. If we don't put more effort into teaching girls about media literacy they will never unlock their true potential. Girls need to breakdown and push back on the societal pressures placed on them. This is the only way a woman can gain control of her image and once she does, nothing will get in her way.
