Body Peace Treaty
Seventeen Magazine is a popular publication amongst the teen girl demographic. The magazine is not much different than the typical teen magazine which often is based around the usual teenage dilemmas, boy troubles, advice about school and family, and interesting stories about "girls like you." What makes Seventeen unique is the efforts that the magazine editors have taken in rallying up girls with low self esteem and making them believe that they actually are worth something. As teenagers, many girls' doubts and insecurities focus around their body image as it is apparent that the media targets us as a main source of business. The Body Peace Treaty brings girls together to accept themselves as they are and to move past the aesthetic aspect of being "what a girl should be" (aka what the media is telling us) and becoming comfortable in who we actually are.
