Stop high street stores using unrealistic body shapes & photo shopped models.
You can't go anywhere these days without seeing some advertising. In all the media the average woman/girl portrayed is unrealistic.
Almost everything on display is on a thin mannequin or the women/girls in photographs are really tall, overly skinny and yet busty.
This has to stop. We have 7/8 year olds dieting and 9/10 year olds more worried about their looks than anything else. It's setting a crazy standard for our daughters.
Let's persuade the stores to show our girls something more realistic in all their advertising. Tall, short, thin, not so thin, white, black and everything in between.
The stores should reflect the reality of the world we live in. I don't want my daughter dieting her entire life to try and "look right".

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This petition seems to be calling on retail stores, not the Government or Parliament, to take action.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
