Book 19 Teen Vogue

Title:   Teen Vogue
Author:  Many
Year Published: 2010
Ages: teens 


Why I chose this:  I enjoy magazines, certain ones.  I like Health and Better Homes and Gardens (you better not be laughing, they have cool garden ideas!)  I wanted to see what magazines were geared for teens.  What better than teen vogue.  To be honest I don't know who Jessica Szhor is. The teens in this mag look older than I do too.  What's going on?!?  Here I go...

My Reaction:  I do not recommend this as suitable quality reading material for teens.  The images are of all extremely thin models, the content is overly mature, and it does not promote critical thinking or in my opinion rational thinking in any measure.  I like the idea of having a teen magazine for adolescents who are interested in fashion.  If there were more articles of genuine nature which were more appropriate for adolescents and if more photographs of real women were included in the magazine I would have a better reaction to it.
