  4. I like your topic, but perhaps your skipping a step in your thesis. Does the media influence teenage pregnancy or does it influence teenage sexual activity which LEADS to teenage pregnancy. What i mean is, teens view media and want to have sex but don't want to get pregnant. Does that make sense? If I were you, I would stick something in your thesis about that. If you choose not to do that (which again, its just a suggestion), I would talk about that somewhere in your paper.

  5. use the show Secret Life for an example. pretty much all it is about is teenage sex and teenage girls getting pregnant. i dont watch it but i know girls who do so if you can sit through one then good for you. haha

  6. And i agree with the first comment.... your going to want to narrow down your media choices.

  7. Rough Thesis: The portrayal of teenage sex in the media and the consequences or lack thereof have influenced the decision of many teenagers regarding participation in sexual activity.

  8. Some teens want to be pregnant, I saw it on Tyra show. So I guess you can go either way in your thesis (influences sexual activity vs. pregnancy) depending on your sources.
