Girls are supposedly more worthwhile and complete with a boyfriend on their arms. They are also expected to constantly be thinking about the opposite sex. So, magazines offer numerous, useless tips on how to ask the boy out, and keeping him. But the periodicals are putting words into the girl's mouth, making her appear witty and beautiful. Sadly, girls sacrifice their own personalities to catch a boy.
Magazines extensively discuss the trendy fashions and physical appearances of young females.
They have many pictures of thin models, that girls think are something to strive for. This influences girls' eating habits, thinking the too-thin models are the norm. These wasted women are actually having serious health problems, such as anorexia or bulimia. Girls don't realize this, and blindly start down the road to a life-threatening illness. Teenage publications applaud girls who pick at their food, or pass on meals, eating junk food instead.
