Answer:
While advertisements aimed at teenagers are very effective because they have a large influence on them, teenagers love to feel likeable and accepted and thrive to get products that other people would also love to have, they are unethical and have the potential to harm and disrupt their phycological stability because they give them false ideas and unrealistic expectations about how they should look and act. Advertisements aimed at teenagers frequently show other people their age or celebrities they look up to use this product and claim it's their "secret" to their success/beauty. They take advantage of their trust in this person and use it to make it appear as if they HAVE to get this product for this person's validation, Because teenagers are vulnerable, these advertisements frequently target them.
Some of these make it appear as if:
- everyone is buying this product
- they're letting them in on a secret that not many people know about
or provoking them to rage by insulting or questioning their knowledge. This leads to people, particularly teenagers, purchasing the product out of spite and attempting to "prove" something to people they don't even know, while certain advertising techniques make them feel as if they are nothing without it. People at this age crave validation and acceptance, so when advertisements are everywhere attempting to manipulate people into purchasing their products, it has the potential to lower their self-esteem and force them to save up for a product that they might not even enjoy.
