The stereotypes of girls in magazines is always usually the same, perfect skin, white straight teeth, smiling, blonde/brunette, tanned, blue eyed, always having fun in the sun, skinny, perfect bodies. When teenage girls see this they want to be just like them. but what they don't realise is that nobody is that perfect, they have all been airbrushed and photoshopped. Because seeing pretty models like this all the time on covers of magazines, we except that this is what we should idealy look like to be attractive.
Magazines are full of 'fake' models. Its not only girls that think they should look like that, guys see the same girls in magazines. They see airbrushed faces and bodies, and they fall into the trap. It gives guys false hope and an unrealistic take on what real girls look like. This puts pressure on girls to look a certain way, and if they don't it can really affect their confidence and it could result in anorexia and depression. At least 10% of girls and women in America have an eating disorder. This can be prevented if real untouched girls were put into magazines.
