It’s been fascinating to watch high school girls call upon teen magazines to cut down on Photoshopping and feature more realistic images of young women, but it was only a matter of time before one of the campaigns experienced some bumps in that road. That appears to have happened to 17-year-old Emma Stydahar and 16-year-old Carina Cruz, whose Teen Vogue protest landed earned them a meeting with the publication’s higher-ups on Wednesday.
