Seventeen Magazine

As a teenager I wasn't one of those girls who read teen magazines. Occasionally, I'd flip through them while at the store, and I still do the same thing. So the other day I was in a long line at the grocery store, so I grabbed a Seventeen magazine. In class we discussed how these magazines are targeted at young female teenage girls.

So as a teenage girl, picking up this magazine. What kind of things would I read? This March issue, featured Lauren Conrad. I'm not sure who that is. Cute girl. The title reads "Lauren Conrad. Her weird habits, hot boyfriend and steamy new book". Over cover stories include: "Guys and Sex: Whats he's too embarrassed to tell you", as well as "Boost your Bra Size (in 1 month)" .

Knowing that these are the featured articles of the event is a bit disappointing. After I flipped through some of the content, I became even more disappointed.

• "57% of sexually active guys admit to having had unprotected sex, which put at risk for STD's and HIV". Well this fact may be accurate. These seem to have forgotten a key fact involved with unprotected sex. PREGNANCY
• There was a part that says "What if he gets obsessed with having sex?" The response says "Sex is fun and exciting. Plus we know that the more we have sex, the better we get at it. Practice makes us feel comfortable and confident." Wow! Thats terrible! I could not believe they put something like this in a teen magazine. The answer completely disregards the issue that the question presents! The answer seems to say "If your boyfriend is obsessed with sex, just deal with it". Soo very disappointing.
