Seventeen Magazine

Seventeen Magazine. (2015) New York: Hearst Communicaitons INC. 

This magazine has articles related to fashion, what are the trends, what to buy and how to wear it. It also has articles about how to dress for certain situations. There is also a beauty section that gives you beauty tips and how they can try the newest makeup trends and fit them into their everyday lives. There is another section where they can learn different fitness tips, or read articles related to positive body image. As with many magazines that are targeted toward women there is a section about with articles related to relationships and understanding the opposite sex. What was surprising to me was there is a section related to personal development strategies, increasing confidence or selecting the right college. There are also interviews with celebrities talking about various things like their upcoming projects or their latest releases.


This magazine is for the higher end of the YA group, the high school (grades 10-12) age group. Some of the articles discuss sex and relationships which might be deemed inappropriate for some of the younger members of the YA age group. Some parents might not realize this is the case until they bought it and allowed their children to read it. There are some articles that deal with what teens have actually dealt with and would be more relatable to the reader.


Rating: 2.5/5
