I think that some letters in magazine advice columns are real but I also think that some are fake. I’m sure that magazines like to spice it up a bit here and there and use fake letters to get readers reeled in. Whether they are real or not does not hurt anyone, it actually might help someone. What if someone was too ashamed to send in for advice, but as they were looking through a magazine, found a similar story as theirs? They may be able to take on some of the advice that they read. Although this sounds nice the reality is most advice columns are just drama. I think it is just fine for magazines to run unsigned letters because what is it hurting? It can either help someone that may need it or get the drama queens excited to read it. They are just trying to sell more magazines. Isn’t that what this world is obsessed with now, more popularity, more money, more fame, more attention? Magazines are just more companies trying to keep up with the Jones’.
