does any one else hate how so many teenage girls worship fashion magazines?

Question

im a teenage girl and i hate fashion magazines. girls at school are obsessed with them. the models are always too skinny which makes them feel bad about themselves, and that makes them try to lose weight so they can look like that. they try to dress exactly like what is in the magazine and i dont see a point in it. i believe the point is to be different not the same. if everyone started dressing like the people in magazines, there wuld be no originality. does anything i just said make sense?

fashion magazines in general

Answer 1

yes...i hate that i am i teen myself and i think it is stupid how some people do that

Answer 2

Fashion is healthy, It takes a certain kind of person to keep fashion. If you're male, you shouldn't keep TOO much fashion or it's metrosexual. But It's usually the people you see walking around the mall that have the fashion sense. There are a few oddities here and there, but for the most part, people in malls keep good fashion. If you can keep a good fashion up. People seem to like being around you more, You're potential to be with a significant other is higher (12 - 45 year of age mainly) and I find that you feel good that people like how you've dressed. It's not good to OBSESS over anything. So i'd say worshipping a fashion magazine is too much. But it's nice when people take good care for themselves, it shows the value of an area almost. I'm betting people living in Beverly Hills would be very nicely dressed and taken care of, in comparison as of where there are tons of wal-marts and blue collar workers in dirty daygo tees buying snickers bars and generic boxer shorts. There's so many different fashion styles that it doesn't even really make a difference what style you pick. It's about being yourself, and partially about fitting into a clique. But overall it's about feeling good. People can have a style that maybe branches from a normal fashion genre but is something unique of all their own within that genre. I wouldn't worry about there not being original. That's practically a myth. You speak the same language. Do the same things in life (School, Work, Groceries, Fun, etc.) If you want to not be like everyone maybe you'd like to go to the woods and live like tarzan. But there's even people doing that. Don't worry about being unoriginal, worry about being yourself. After that, everything else falls into place perfectly.

Answer 4

Kudos for not falling into the trap of fashion magazines, but you're still a misguided one, and I have a feeling you're just as shallow as those girls--just in a different way.

Answer 5

It makes total sense. It isn't just teenage girls. My daughter is 8 and drives me nuts! She wants to be a model(she is thin enough and tall for her age) but damn, I don't remember being so consumed with this stuff like she is. And no, I am not OLD, I am 28.

This has been going on for years. Even back in my day. {35-40years ago} Someday it won't be important. Just be yourself. You don't have to follow those magazines. I didn't.
