The world was first introduced to Miley Cyrus through the Disney Channel show, Hannah Montana. Millions of young girls fell in love with Miley's character, Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana ("The Best Of Both Worlds"). Miley taught young girls that nobody's perfect, friendship is forever (whereas boys may come and go), and staying true to who you really are, are the most important things girls need to remember in life. However, these young girls watching Hannah Montana, worshipping and loving Miley Cyrus as true fans do, are now young women. These young women are completely different than their selves from nine years ago. Sadly, some of these women have forgotten that nobody's perfect, friendship is forever, and staying true to who you really are, are important and essential. Instead, they ditched Miley when she decided to cast off her image as Hannah Montana. With that action, these young women renounced their love for Miley Cyrus. But, they shouldn't have.
Miley quickly transformed into the female that can't be tamed. Her blonde wig and the pure image Disney writers created for her, was probably left somewhere on the Hannah Montana set. She no longer sang songs similar to "True Friend" and "If We Were a Movie," from her Hannah days. Instead, Miley was

now singing songs she wanted to sing, she was partying in the U.S.A, and she was now, her own artist. Miley danced on poles and in cages. Some young women were appalled. They missed the Miley they once knew, the Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana. They didn't think it could get much worse as they begged for "the old Miley" to resurface. According to these young women, Miley did get worse, much worse. The Bangerz movement was the end of the world for the women that grew up as Miley grew up. The tongue, the twerking, the sexual and suggestive motions, and the new image that Miley created, destroyed the entire planet. Who was this party girl? Who was this girl that was so quick to show her body to everyone? Where were the life lessons Hannah sang to girls? This young woman is Miley Cyrus. She's confident, she expresses herself through her body, and sends the message that the female body is nothing to be ashamed of. Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana is gone, but Miley Cyrus as Miley Cyrus is here and she has a life lesson as well. Miley Cyrus may have undergone A LOT of transformations as she shed her Hannah Montana image, but one thing is for certain...
she stayed true to who she really is and she doesn't care what other people think of her. This is why everyone should love Miley Cyrus. This is why those young girls, who grew into young women, should have never stopped loving Miley. Unlike many young women her age, Miley has self-love and this is what she teaches us. She loves herself for who she is, she doesn't want to change, and she will never let another person's opinion influence the way she perceives herself. Miley Cyrus is happy just being herself, and this is how all young women should be. So, let's all love Miley and never, ever
stop.
In this book therapist Mary Pipher writes about her experiences at work with adolescent girls. It is intended to make the reader aware of the perils of being a teenager in today's sexualized and media-saturated culture. She talks about how this new and more hostile environment affects adolescent girls' emotional growth and development, and how hard it is to stay true to yourself while trying to fit in with peers. For the most part this book is Dr. Pipher's attempt to reach out to adolescents, as well as their parents and teachers, and tell them that this "problem without a name" is not a death sentence but rather a journey to adulthood, and tells adults how to help these impressionable young girls through what might be the most trying period of their lives.
You would think Katniss wouldn’t dream of teaming up with a child, but she has. Rue is so similar yet so different from Katniss’s younger sister Prim which is partly the reason why they have teamed up. They surprisingly make an impressive duo and they work so well they’ve become partners in crime. The song presented is lighthearted and connects to the scene very well because at each other’s side they feel safe and secure. They both know the situation they’re in is life or death, but that doesn’t stop them from doing as much as they can to hurt the Career tributes of 1, 2, and 4. The piece also tells how both people in the song care for each other and treasure the bond they have made, much like Katniss and

...he critics agreed that Miley did a good job, even if the movie was unbelievable and silly.
Demi Lovato is a famous singer, songwriter, and actor born in 1992 in New Mexico. Although she was on “Barney & Friends” as a child, most people know her from her years as an actress and an occasional singer on disney channel. She co-starred in the famous movie series “Camp Rock” and also in the television series “Sonny with a Chance.” After these acting positions, Lovato began a career in singing. She has released many albums and has had many hit songs such as “Heart Attack” and “Cool for the Summer.” In 2012 and 2013, Lovato was a judge on “The X Factor” (Wikipedia). Singing is a huge part of Lovato’s life, and she pours her heart and should into her lyrics.
“Wrecking Ball” is pop ballad sung by the American recoding artist Miley Cyrus. Once known and adored by many as “Hannah Montana”, Cyrus shed her childish shell and adopted a sexualized and edgy persona for her fourth album, Bangerz, which “Wrecking Ball” is the album’s second single. The song starts with a quiet and minimalist synthesized keyboard instrumentation which is immediately met with the anguished vocals of Cyrus. Even in the first 30 seconds where only 26 words were sung, the topic of the song is quite evident: a failing relationship. Cyrus starts by crooning “We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain, we jumped never asking why, we kissed, I fell under your spell. A love no one could deny” which could be interpreted as two lovers fought to be together and succeeded in doing so but it was ultimately useless as denoted by “we chained our hearts in vain”. As the song progresses the minimalist keyboard continues creating an open environment in which Cyrus’ emotive vocals can shine. When the refrain is introduced Cyrus’ vocals and the keyboard instrumentation briefly disappear and when they reemerge they are joined with booming percussion that hits sharply, then slowly dissipates. Cyrus’ vocal delivery also changes from the softer, anguished sound to a powerful, almost vindictive roar which quickly returns to the soft delivery with a quiver as Cyrus sings “Yeah, you, yo...
Modesty vs. Floozy is how I would describe the difference between Miley Cyrus and Sadie Robertson. Both young girls have spent their teenage years in the spotlight surrounded by tabloids, the media, television, and money. Each one has taken completely different roads throughout the fame and fortune, and each one has had some type of impact on people throughout America. They have also had the same amount of exposure in the media, starting at a young age.
In the end, that’s what makes her so special: ignoring the haters and the liars and being confortable with who she truly is. Although this wasn’t always the way it was since she’s had to deal with bullying and middle school drama, she’s become resilient through the years. She’s comfortable with herself and encourages kids to be comfortable with themselves too, spreading an extremely important message.

Demi Lovato, one of today's most influential and inspiring women that is seen in the media spot light opened up about having an eating disorder. This Disney star told Robin Roberts, and ABC News reporter, that she had been bulimic and ultimately had to check into Timberline Knolls, a rehab center that focuses on eating disorders and addictions. At a young age she had been bullied because she was told she was too fat. For Demi, this caused her to begin overeating extremely and limiting her eating to a few times a day. While on a concert tour for “Camp Rock 2” she would perform without having anything to eat and would lose her voice by making herself vomit. After her treatment she said she wanted to get her story out so other young girls know they don’t need to suffer through what she did. Demi’s younger sister Madison, is one of those girls who look up to her and she knew that she had to stay strong and overcome her problems for her sister and set a good example for her ("Demi Lovato Interview: Teen," n.d.). In today’s society, more than ever, the way people view themselves and others has become a focus. Modern society now has preconceived concepts of what people should look like in order to be beautiful, like what size they are, the color of their hair, the color of their skin, and even their race are factors that are considered. Most problems with body image issues come from what is put in the media. What once was considered beautiful in magazines years ago, such as curves in women, have now changed to rail thin bodies, like those of runway models which are constantly seen on television. Because the ideal of human beauty changes throughout time, trends in body type, fashion, and race negatively impact society.
Britney was very successful from 1998 to 2000. During these years, things were changing for her. Britney was telling people about her “remaining a virgin until marriage” yet she was posing in pictures that convinced people to think otherwise. Her albums still continued to sell in the United States as well as in Europe. She embarked on many successful roads through 2003 (Wikipedia, 2011). Her public finally saw her as a woman not a girl.
Nowadays, when I think back to that day I see her face differently she wore the expression of a
In American culture today, society's view of beauty is controlled by Hollywood, where celebrities are constantly in the lime-light. The media watches Hollywood's every move, and is quick to ridicule “A-listers” whenever they dare to gain a few pounds or to let an uncontrollable pimple show. The media has created a grossly distorted mental image of what should be considered beautiful, and with almost every junior high and high school-age girl reading and viewing this message, the idea has been instilled in them as well. This view of beauty is causing many teenage girls to become obsessed with a highly problematic and unattainable goal of perfection.
