As mentioned, although media heavily focuses on gender identity and roles, teens make the decision to enact in these gendered like ways as they've learnt about the norms and gender expectations within society. These restricted conceptions of what has been laid out to be masculine or feminine are all attributes each one of us has unintentionally continued to reinforce. Therefore, teens have begun to use media in terms of referencing and shaping who they are, which have also been factors with developing in their own gendered similar like ways. For instance, this can include the decision of females using makeup, having long vs short hair, colours of clothes we wear, and etc as everything we enact in are stereotypically associated to gender identity.
