In my opinion, the altering of images within magazines is very harmful and misleading to the young population today. It is very disturbing to see a 12 year old looking up to an altered image of a model and taking that image as their role model. I am totally against this misleading act. According to the article, "Photoshopping: Altering Images and Our Minds," there is a 119 percent increase in the number of children under age 12 that were hospitalized due to an eating disorder between 1990 and 2006. This static right here should be enough to stop this horrible practice. It is ruining the minds of little innocent children. These kids shouldn't be worrying about what their body looks like at age 12.
