Magazine Effects on Teens

I am conducting some researching with fellow class mates at the University of Michigan in my Com 101 class. I am trying to understand and reveal more information on body image. More specifically, How does the perception of “beauty” and “fit” displayed in the tabloids affect young adult’s thoughts and behaviors regarding body image?
This is an important issue in today society now more then ever, and it is only being more severe. Both young woman and men are being pressured by a wide array of magazines to look, eat and act a certain way. It is not acceptable anymore to be average, but it has become a race to be the skinniest, most ripped, stingiest, and prettiest. 
These increasing pressures from magazines are causing sever body image issues, physiologically, emotionally and physically.
My peers and I intend to look in to individual magazines that promote bod image topics, talk with teens, and research the effects some of these stereotypes can have on an individual.
Below are two adds that emphasize the obsession both men and women begin to have on their bodes and how magazines say they should look.
