Seventeen magazine why me

Young women read Seventeen and other teen magazines for ideas and inspiration. They look up to the women featured and, consciously or not, try to emulate them. The letter overtly confirms that Seventeen will continue to retouch photos. At the time, the petition had collected a respectable 7, signatures; now it's close to 85, and Bluhm, along with an organization called SPARK, staged a demonstration outside Seventeen's New York offices, launched a Twitter campaign, and met with Seventeen EIC Anne Shoket, who, as we've learned from Ad Week, has finally responded to Bluhm's request.

Despite the fact that Tavi Gevinson is and therefore bang on in the middle of Seventeen's demo--the teenage blogger superstar is not too keen on the magazine.

Which is kind of the reason why she started her very own and totally awesome teen magazine Rookie in the first place. For those of you unfamiliar with Ask a Grown Man, it's this awesome feature that has adult celebrities like John Hamm and Judd Apatow honestly answering reader-submitted questions via a home computer camera--it's un-produced and completely genuine and if you haven't watched the John Hamm one watch it now.

Seventeen's take however, plays up the celebrity angle and has the so-called "A-lister" done up in hair and makeup and filmed in the magazine's offices. She continued:. Back in April, year old Julia Bluhm petitioned Seventeen to stop digitally altering models' faces and bodies. It's hard to believe that a year-old could actually inspire change in the fashion industry, but that's just what teenager Julia Bluhm did when she teamed up with girl-activist group SPARK Movement last April, petitioning Seventeen magazine to feature unaltered, un-retouched real girls.

I now actually understand the physics of tampons and have vomited in front of my boyfriend several times, thank you very much!

All of it is, against our better instincts, irresistible. It made oversharing pieces of your life, all the gross details and embarrassing parts intact, completely normal for teenage girls.

Joey Bartolomeo: p. Go with what your interests are and go with what makes you happy. If you just really embrace who you are. We spend so much time encouraging teens to really embrace who they are and embrace the curls, as Joey said. And to be able to just be teens and enjoy that, and to grow up into adults who are able to embrace fully who they are and to be accepted. And feel comfortable doing that.

All of the sexism. We just want to continue to advocate for young people and that they are able to own their choices. And that goes into bullying, body shaming, everything like that as well. Social media has a lot of great things about it and then it has a lot of downsides. We just hope that if we can have Seventeen be a positive, encouraging platform for them in print and online, then hopefully that will help them spread positive messages and really get past these troubles that are out there, and the people who have these negative comments.
