Do you think that Advertisers are abusing kids' minds by making it so that if they don't buy an app they will hurt their new “Friends” feelings?

Answer 1

Yes i agree. Have you ever wondered what ads do to children's minds at the age of 12 and younger? Well it makes them sad and depressed because the ads are emotionally manipulating the children. Many children get sad when they can't get McDonalds because of the ads that tell them they are making their friends sad or hurting them if they can't get it. My opinion is that I think that they are, in a way, abusing young kids' minds through apps making them think that they are hurting their new friend on the advertisement if they don't buy it.

Everyday, teens from the ages of 12- 19 see approximately 3,000 ads a day and most of them are junk foods and beverages ads, which means most teens are get obese and stay sitting on the couch and watching more TV. At the age 10 - 16 kids are at their most important development stage so if they just sit on the couch all day they end up stunting their growth and end up short and fat. So Inconclution I think all ads targeted to teens and kids of 12 and younger should be banned
