    I agree with Sandra M.

    Stop buying your daughters fashion magazines if you don't want them absorbing the fashion magazine message. Don't buy them, yourself. A magazine has no obligation to raise your daughters' self-esteem.

    Buy your daughters books, instead. Buy them skateboards. Buy them oil paints, sewing machines, or real estate. But don't buy them fashion magazines and then cry when the fashion magazines say the same crap they've always said. You can't count on Atoosa to be a role model. Be a role model, yourself.

    —Gwendolyn Zepeda
