Seventeen (Magazine)

(August 2009). Seventeen. Vol. 68, no.8.

Content: This was the Back-to-School edition, full of Fall fashion ideas, a jeans shopping guide and top beauty buys. This is definitely a girl's magazine, especially since you can read up on how to find the right pair of jeans for your shape, whether it is curvy, athletic, petite, etc. There is an article on how to love your body the way it is at any size, so they comment on body issues, which affect many tween and teen girls. I used to read Seventeen when I was in middle school and always liked the section where readers send in their humiliating moments, and I was happy to see that they still have that. Horoscopes in the back are nice if you believe in that kind of stuff, which I used to always read mine even though it never came true!
