Are Teen Fashion Magazines Causing Teen Girls to Show too Much Skin?

Most teenage girls read many different varieties of fashion magazines. But are the magazines having to much of a bad influence on the way teens dress? If a teen sees a celebrity or a young teen around their age, who they look up to, wearing something they feel is cute they will try to get that same style as them.Teen magazines have a huge impact on the way teens dress because they look up to the other girls in the magazines. Most models in the magazines are wearing skimpy outfits showing a lot of skin. Which is showing a new trend of clothing but these are trends for not teenage girls, they are more of a "party outfit." The outfits shows in magazines of girls in not a lot of clothing are something not for everyday attire, but teens feel since it is in a magazine that they should wear those outfits. The article Popular Teen Magazines and Their Possible Effect on Teenage Girls, would agree by saying, "The fashions in these magazines, or lack there of, were completely shocking to me. Teenage girls and models in low-cut, high-cut, skin-tight outfits, with super spiked heels and high leather boots that would make Julia Robert’s character in Pretty Women blush. Are these really the fashions we want our kids adopting? And they are adopting them. I am astonished at what some of my students show up to school wearing, often times I am tempted to ask them if they’ve done their shopping in the children’s department." This article is proving that teens are dressing way to old for their age. When the author said she thought teens were shopping in a children's sections because their clothing is so small and is revealing a lot of skin. In majority of teen fashion magazines the models on the covers are revealing a lot of skin, and most teens look up to these models, just because they are a model. Teen magazines should realize that their target group are teens and if they feel teens shouldn't be doing something then it shouldn't be advertised in their magazine, because the magazine is such an influence to teen girls.
