Alot of people don't realise that probably all of the images we see today on magazines aren't even real.
If you look in a magazine you see, what some girls or people call, perfect images of women that are potrayed as beautiful. I'm sorry but that's not even real. We base ourselves on an image that is extremely unattainable and we think it's okay.
The fact is, it's not okay. We portray women that aren't even really real, the model just gives them a stencil and then editors fix the "imperfections". It's not right. We all see photos in magazines telling us to "embrace the real you" but how can we when the images that say are, aren't even the real thing. They're fake, false, wrong. It's impossible to look the way the magazine shows us so why are we showing these photos to the world?
A little photoshopping is 0kay, but when you're making someones neck longer, cheeks thinner, eyes bigger...is it really that person still or is it a false image that people believe to be a real person.
They aren't real. How can they be real? The person that is being photographed is an entirely different person from the image being photoshopped. That girl's legs aren't that long, his muscles aren't that big and no, her body isn't that tan. Women, especially teenage girls are being brought up in a world where "the perfect woman" is literally unattainable. I myself am a teenage girl and it's hard seeing all these images that look so amazing, so beautiful but not being able to ever be like that is the hardest. Girls are so caught up in that image is all that matters when it's honestly not.
Photoshopping is fake, unattainable and unrealistic.
