An opinion regarding the Effects of Media to the Filipino Youth

In countries where technology is growing, our teenagers tend to communicate and disseminate information.

"Today 's young people in the Philippines are their genes and schools, or, most importantly, the mass media rather than their houses."

Even if you are waking up in the morning or sleeping at night, you are used to checking the phone. Many teenagers spend the night without sleeping, but this affects health and performance at school. Media violence is also increasing, which can affect vulnerable young people.

We can not deny that the media formed our lives as young people. Young people in the Philippines tend to participate in various forms of media regardless of the possibility of impact on their lives. The media becomes more antisocial, as young people always stick to their mobile phones, influence their physical activity and reduce the time they spend with their families.

Media may have very many negative effects on young people in the Philippines, but it can also bring us multiple benefits. The correct use of media depends on our responsibility, awareness and information. If you want to educate young people in the Philippines about the proper use of the media, you can reduce their impact.

According to the Philippine Youth Research Study conducted by the Global Philippine Foundation in 2001, media and technology are other major events in their lives. Television and radio are most influential. Technology is still a function of the class, but with the advent of Internet cafes among us, they will be able to democratize the availability of young people. As the world opens through media and technology, globalization will happen earlier in this generation. According to young people, they can understand anything through the internet.

We can not deny that the media formed our lives as young people. Young people in the Philippines tend to participate in various forms of media regardless of the possibility of impact on their lives. Because media always stay on mobile phones, young people will influence the physical activity of young people and increase the antisocial nature of young people to shorten the time spent with their families. Media may have very many negative effects on young people in the Philippines, but it can also bring us multiple benefits. The correct use of media depends on our responsibility, awareness and information. If you want to educate young people in the Philippines about the proper use of the media, you can reduce their impact.

Health is an important issue for young people in the Philippines because adolescence is characterized by rapid physical, physical, emotional and social development. An important factor in distinguishing between adults and adults is the initiation of risk-taking actions. Young people are often experimental periods and may expose young people to health-related problems. Often young people and adolescents lack understanding of the health needs and the effects of dangerous behavior. They also lack knowledge about how to protect themselves, and often do not know how to obtain information about available health services. Because most healthcare services are targeted at adults or children, it is often that you can not meet the special needs of young people in terms of confidentiality, privacy, cost, and accessibility.
