TEEN MAGAZINE SUCCUMBS TO DEMANDS TO ABOLISH AIR-BRUSHING ITS YOUNG MODELS

A courageous 14-year has won her campaign to force Seventeen Magazine to cease altering its models' pictures with Photoshop and air-brushing. Julia Bluhm, a Virtuous Young Woman, spearheaded a campaign on Facebook protesting the fakery in advertising that has popularized altering womens' (and girls') faces and figures to reflect an abnormal standard. This deception has led to a substantial increase in bullying, depression and eating disorders. Over 80,000 people agreed with Julia online that this practice needs to stop. 

As a result, Seventeen Magazine has agreed  to discontinue its practice of "doctoring" the photos of its young models.  To better understand how Media Advertisers "Photoshop" the models, watch this video produced by Dove Evolution:
