FAST FORWARD. . .

Lauren Greenfield's website was great! It was easy to navigate, and the pictures were a great representation of teens today. The whole "getting older younger" idea that sticks out to her is one statement that is most definitly portrayed through the pictures in her book. After photographing my 13 year old cousin, i have come to the same type of realization. Talking to her made it seem as though she was up to my age. When i was 13, i was not talking about getting my hair colored or reading confessions of a shopaholic. Thats what i am doing now at 22. The Artist statement by Lauren Greenfield showed the reader exactly what she was thinking and why she went about her projects. I was shocked my some of the pictures, especially the one with the girl weighing herself infront of her friends and parents, she was real skinny, and it was shocking to see. Also the girls huffing in the bathroom was shocking. All in all, those pictures tell a huge STORY about what is happening/happened to the YOUTH.
