Recent CNN.com articles are talking about teens as young as 11 asking "Am I pretty?" on YouTube and older teens that will no longer be photoshopped in Seventeen Magazine.

In the article about YouTube, comedian, blogger and feminist Margaret Cho gives CNN an interview about her take on the young teenagers posting videos like this. In a post on her website, Cho told teens to take the videos down: "You don’t need people to tell you how beautiful you are on there. You don’t need to put yourself in the position to be judged that way. You are better than that and you deserve the very best in life."
