when i was younger (like 12, 13) i used to read all those teen magazines, that would tell me how to get perfect hair, and what kind of jeans fit my body type. then I grew up, and asked myself, "am I actually reading this mindless drivel?" seriously, do you ever wonder why guys laugh hysterically at girly fashion magazines? because they're pathetic. honestly, you're life is a complete waste if you have nothing better to do with your time than to obsess over a pimple or the fact that your hair doesnt accentuate the shape of your face the way it should. I think the main problem is that our culture in general has become way too self-obsessed. take a minute away from poring over your image in the mirror and spend your time in a more worthwhile way. instead of handing kids that trash they should get into sports, music, charity, anything would be better than conditioning a bunch of clones who think the world revolves around their ability to choose the perfect outifit.
