It's as American as apple pie--or, one might say, apple tart. For nowadays, girls of all ages seem to think it is normal to be tarted up like Lolita lookalikes--to look, talk and dress like little women. It happens before they even get breasts, a physical change that now occurs earlier than ever." (DALLAS MORNING NEWS) This article relays that young girls are being bombarded with adult-like images, causing them to look and act more mature than their teenage mindsets dictate.Summary: THE AGE OF DIMINISHING INNOCENCE -- This article relays that the magazine industry is shifting the focus of its material to meet the interests and needs of today's sophisticated and "complicated" teenagers. "Apart from multiplying, the magazines have changed in ways that are not always obvious from the bubbly covers splashed with images of teenage idols, zit-zapping advice and haircuts that rock. Underlying many articles is the premise that teenage girls are swiftly becoming miniaturized versions of grown-ups, with just as many problems and responsibilities as their parents." (NEW YORK TIMES)
