I figured I would make a thread to here your opinions on how today's magazines mould young people into how celebrities look and how they feel about themselves. Many reports have been seen about how magazines make young people think they SHOULD be thin, or how magazines are making today's society celebrity obsessed.

Well, I am 13, and I subscribed to heat magazine not so long ago. And from reading it it doesn't make me feel that I should look or feel different about anything. I am not happy with the way I look, but I do not feel that the magazine makes me feel I should look different.

You hear about teenagers comitting suicide because they were fat and wish they looked like today's stars (most of which are talentless). I just wondered if you thought magazines pressured young people into having to look a certain way...
