1. I feel like the ads have gone a bit too far. The text and images the ads presented in the video were a little too much to show. I feel like these ads are offensive to those who have been able to start a family at a younger age because lets face it having a kid a young age is not something new anymore. Many people do have kids are a young age and manage to raise a good family. Stereotype is presented because they make it seem like every young couple's who have babies are eventually going to fail. If that was the case then everyone would fail and everyone would fall under this stereotype because marriages fall apart no matter how old these couple's are.

2. I feel like they are effective because the messages are pretty straight forward. The messages presented in the ads were like a smack in the face with statistics and text that were a little harsh. I feel like the creators of the ads took all the lines of a Maury show but i know it was done to serve a specific reason and that's to stop teen pregnancy.

3. I most certainly feel like the ads are biased. Even though they say is it to prevent teen pregnancy, the ads should target everyone not just teens. Like i stated before, if i was to throw numbers on how many couples split because their love in marriage is no longer there, i don't think there would be a huge difference. People of all ages split and there are parents who abandon their kids because they want nothing to do with them or they don't have the money to financially support them. Ads should target everyone, not just teens. That's why i feel like these ads were stereotypical because they need to target everyone not just teens.

4. I like the fact that the ads are there and they are straight forward. It makes me think about things and makes me glad that i am not stuck in a situation like that. Thanks to ads like those, it has helped me keep my head on my shoulders. However, i feel like the ads were a little too much. When i was growing up, the ads were different. They sent a clear message without the stereotype and it helped me. The ads presented now in days are a little too much and offensive especially for teens.
