Utah Teens Shocked to See Altered Yearbook Photos

A little airbrushing to school pictures can spell big relief, concealing pimples and brightening complexions. But some students at Wasatch High School cracked their yearbooks this week to find more than tiny touchups: digital alterations including cap sleeves on their tank tops, raised necklines and in one case, a vanished tattoo.
Several students at the Heber City public school said they’ve often worn those outfits on campus and never heard from officials that they violated the dress code.
With the digital changes, “I feel like they’re shaming you, like you’re not enough, you’re not perfect,” sophomore Shelby Baum said Thursday. Baum’s collarbone tattoo reading “I am enough the way I am” was lifted from her photo. She also discovered a high, square neckline drawn onto her black V-neck T-shirt.
