According to this Independent article, "Girls as young as seven would like to change something about their appearance".
"Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson, whose party wants to ban airbsrushing pictures, blamed the pressure young girls find themselves under on an “unrealistic idea of what is beautiful means.”
“This report highlights the worrying number of teenage girls who are going on extreme diets or even considering cosmetic surgery because they're unhappy with the way they look,” she said, adding: “Airbrushing means that adverts now contain completely unattainable images that no-one can live up to in real life.
“Girls shouldn't constantly feel the need to measure up to a very narrow range of digitally manipulated images.”"
