It's not just doctors and parents that are crying out to stop the teen airbrushing in magazines—now teens themselves are speaking out against photoshop!

A brave 13-year old by the name of Julia Bluhm submitted a petition on Change.Org titled, "Seventeen Magazine: Give Girls Images of Real Girls," to explain the damage these airbrushed images have done to her and her friends body confidence.

Bluhm, who is a middle school student in Maine writes on the site quote, " Those "Pretty women" that we see in magazines are fake. They're often photoshopping, air-brushed, edited to look thinner, and to appear like they have perfect skin. A girl you see in a magazine probably looks a lot different in real life."

And Julia is spot on, over the years we've seen celebs ditch the photoshop and airbrushing for their magazine covers and quite a different, but still beautiful image is revealed.

In May of 2010—Jessica Simpson covered Marie Claire with no retouching, showing off a still gorgeous image of the now very pregnant star.

While, Kim Kardashian went to the cover of Life & Style magazine to combat body comments, saying quote, "I have cellulite, so what!"

So, in an emotional plea, Julia asks one seemingly simple favor from Seventeen Magazine—"To commit to printing one unaltered—real—photo spread per month."

She says, "For the sake of all the struggling girls all over America, who read Seventeen and think these fake images are what they should be, I'm stepping up!"
