Critical
Review:
Seventeen
is
primarily a fashion magazine for teenage girls, though I was pleased to find
that the magazine has changed some since I was a teenager. While the majority of the magazine is devoted
to the superficial concerns, clothes, hair, and makeup, the magazine also
includes articles that deal with real issues, such as safe sex and using birth
control. The magazine not only reports
on issues that teens are interested in, but addresses issues that teens might
be embarrassed to discuss with their parents or other adults. I was also pleased to find that unlike
fashion magazine for older readers, Seventeen,
has made an effort to use models of all shapes, sizes and races, making
this a truly diverse and realistic portrait of teen girls.
