Most people like to read magazines in their spare time but some people are getting offended by some of the photos. Many of the models aren’t what they look like they may have had wrinkles removed, body fat removed and re-do the unwanted parts of their face.

Firstly Girls 10-16 are comparing themselves to 18-30 year old models they think they have to be perfect to be famous like the women in the magazines but they don’t realize that the people in the magazine are airbrushed to make their skin perfect and make them look skinnier but really there not so perfect. The girls that want to become like those women in those magazines starve themselves and but so much make up on their skin that it’s destroys their skin from all the chemicals. They don’ realise that it’s not real.

Secondly many of the people reading the magazines are getting offended by the perfect people and are trying to be like them, not knowing that most of their “Perfect looks” are just edited.

Lastly it is really bad for some people’s health, starving themselves just to look thinner and also if you were poor you would have to go to the nearest beauty shop to buy makeup just to look good.

When you flick through magazines and you see all the thin pretty girls. By seeing that you want to look like her. Do you want to look like her? Well soon you won’t because the federal government is trying change all that. 

There are alot of people who are comparing themselves to models.  It can affect the way we feel about our bodies which can lead us to eating disorders and other health problems. Our bodies come in all shapes and sizes but there are some things to trick us all. Alot of the time pictures are changed by computer software to cover things up and to make them look perfect. The software can change eyes, change colour of lips and even the nose. The federal government wants it to change because they say it’s not real.

The government wants advertisers the fashion industry and the media to show more models of different shapes, sizes and cultures. I think that the young models around the world should think like Sarah Murdoch!!!
