Sorry, but I don't think that what you describe is nearly as widespread an issue. This issue with youthfulness and beauty goes beyond Hollywood and seeps into regular society and regular girls, who then have self esteem issues. Add onto that, they listen to and admire "artists" such as Nicki Minaj, and you have a recipe for disaster. Teen girls are incredibly susceptible to this kind of stuff.
Yeah, that's the nature of life. Young girls are hugely attractive. This is the best that they're ever going to look in their entire lives. They're spoiled by all the male attention. They don't want to give that up as they age and see younger women coming up behind them. This isn't something that a campaign can fix - this is human nature.
You are completely missing the point. The point is that this encourages unhealthy habits and ideas in young girls. I read a story about a mom who had her daughter get Botox when she was 8. The saddest part was that the little girl actually thought she had wrinkles. How effing sad is that? I can just imagine the train wreck she's going to be as an adult.

As for Britney, she's allegedly fine – even thankful – of her mom's efforts. "My friends think it's cool I have all the treatments and they want to be like me. I check every night for wrinkles, and when I see some I want more injections," the 8-year-old says.
I thought you were talking about women's views on youth and beauty, not plastic surgery. Yeah, I see your point about the mainstreaming of PS as a means to keep something that is fading or to enhance one's appearance.
As for the 8 year old, idiot parents, what can you do?
