Seventeen (2-year) [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION] [PRINT] Reviews
I think that Seventeen is an excellent magazine for teenagers. The health section is great, fashion tips are fabulous, and anything that happens to be about sex is informative.
Sex Articles: Come on people, if you want to keep your daughters away from this stuff they might as well live in a convent. Your daughters are going to know way more than you think and better they hear it from some place that gives them the truth and not from a friend who means well but just doesn’t know anything. Sure, there is nothing that says “DON’T HAVE SEX” but it gives girls what they need to hear and then your parenting will decide when and what they do.
Health: These days there isn’t a girl around who doesn’t want to be stick thin. It isn’t their fault, it’s the media. The good thing about Seventeen is that it shows girls instead of how to loose weight, how to be healthy. They have great food ideas, exersize plans and an over all healthy attitude towards weight loss and body image.
Fashion: Seventeen has one of the best fashion sections out of all of the teen magazines. Yeah, it is fun to see the occasional Chanel or Marc Jacobs outfit in a magazine but not when it plasters the pages. Seventeen suggests affordable outfit ideas from drop-dead-gorgeous sling backs to don’t-you-wish-you-knew-me jeans. Their “Splurge” outfits are just the right amount of occasional fantasy.
Fun: They’ve got their share of cutesy quizzes and embarrassing stories because they realize that teens aren’t adults and they still need a little childish fun. There are decoration tips, organization advice and some of the best stress reliever ideas I’ve ever seen.
Note: They do have a regular article called “17 Real Life” which is usually okay with the occasional disturbing story. However, they do have a “17 Warning” on the bad ones and you could simply request that your daughter, if she’s young, not read those. I highly suggest this magazine.
To those who say that this magazine is mindless and turns your daughters into airheads I suggest you hear me out. Nothing turns your daughter into an “airhead.” Perhaps an unhealthy dose of magazine reading and web surfing will make them slightly superfical but it is just a phase and will pass guaranteed. However, a monthly fashion magazine does not melt the brain nor fry brain cells. In fact, it probably does more good than it does damage.
