Young people wanting to look like photo shopped images
By: Delia
It has become a problem in the world that many children have been looking at severely photo shopped images as a ‘role model look’.
Many children are refusing to eat so that they will feel slim and beautiful. If they eat they believe that they will become fat and are afraid that they might be bullied because of it.
The pre-teens and teenagers are being bombarded by all of these pictures of flawless and angelic models and need to realise that they are completely fake.
Back in 2012, a girl called started a petition against photo shopped photos in a popular teen magazine, and 84,000 people signed it. The people that signed it didn’t like being bombarded with photographs of fake yet flawless people. Many people disagree with adverts taking already beautiful people and changing them to become absolutely perfect.
In conclusion, it is obvious that people disagree with adverts showing people fake images. They would prefer to be shown realistic pictures rather than edited rubbish that adverts show you.
