The magazines have officially confirmed that they will change their editorial focus regarding relationships for young teens. Thank you for supporting this effort to provide a more balanced perspective for our youth. I intend to monitor their future issues to ensure these positive changes remain in place.

The feedback I continue to receive confirms that many young people feel pressured by the current narrative found in these magazines. I am currently drafting a formal letter to the editors of these publications to present your collective concerns. Thank you for providing the momentum necessary to bring these issues to their attention.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a collective desire to change how we speak to young readers about their self-worth. It is encouraging to see so many people recognize that our youth deserve content focused on personal growth rather than social pressure.

stop sexualizing children.
its honestly brainwashing them. let kids be kids for a few years at least.
what happened to just hanging out with your friends? magazines act like you arent worth anything without a boy.
completely agree! these magazines put so much pressure on girls way to young. childhood goes by so fast anyway.
my daughter is 13 and all she talks about is boys because of this garbage. its ridiculous.

YES! I remember reading this stuff and thinking something was wrong with me if I didn't have a crush. Toxic.
