"It's a shame that the people who are listening to you the most are only interested in you because they want you and your peers to buy their product."

This is not always true. People today do try to get into conversations with us (teens), and try to see what it is that we do for fun or what strikes us as interesting, but they don't always want to use that information to try and sell a product. Although there is some truth to this statement, I feel that there are people in our everyday life that are listening to us and taking in our thoughts without the intension of using those ideas for advertising a new product. My parents are people I talk to and have some interest in what I say, or at least I like to think they are listening, or even my brothers, as we share information about sports teams or whats going on in our professional and social lives. However, there are companies and certain mass medians that want our information for what it is, information. They use what thoughts we give them in order to see what's in style or "cool." In this case the people listening aren't interested in you, but are really interested in your thoughts.
