Here is a summary of every single article in every single issue:
-How to flirt
-Don't get pregnant!
-Fashions no teenage girl would ever really wear
-Do some sit ups but <3 your body just the way it is
-I'm an actress/singer but at heart I'm just a down to earth kind of gal
There. I saved you the bother. I'm 16, when I was younger I loved Seventeen, but over time I've begun to realize the redundancy in the articles. It takes me about five minutes to flip through one of these bad boys. The articles are not helpful, they talk about what "real guys" want in a relationship and give frightening advice from 15 year old girls who believe their relationships will last. The interviews with the cover girls are so cookie cutter I don't even read them anymore; every dang girl says the same thing ("I may be famous but I'm just a girl -- Like YOU! Achieve your dreams <3 <3 )
Not all teenage girls are concerned with these trite things, flirting, weird fashions and down to earth singers. I like the sections on the girls who actually DO things, I wish the magazine had more of those girls we could aspire to be like. As it is, all we know how to do is flirt really well, love our bodies and blend color schemes. It's insulting that Seventeen thinks this is all that teenage girls are interested in.
Give us some role models who aren't famous for sex tapes and singing, please!

This subscription came much faster than expected which is a plus. My daughter, who is 15, really enjoys it much like I did way back in the day. Good purchase - Fantastic price!

After one year my daughter asked me not to renew it. She was not too thrilled with the articles, but commented on too many ads.

Mixed Up
November 26,2010
I renewed my subscription and it was supposed to pick up after my last renewel expired in Jan 11, but I got another issue of the months magazine. So, obviously, my subscription is another new one and I will be getting two magazines every month and will get short changed on my last few months, I am not happy with this confusing system and don't suggest anyone doing renewels because you miss out on issues!
Gift to Grandaughter

I gave this two year subscription as a gift for my grandaughter's fifteenth birthday. She is very pleased and has commented several times on how much she enjoys getting the magazine. I'm only sorry I didn't think of it before.
Fast deliver

We bought this subscription for my fifteen year old daughter as a birthday gift. She kept asking when the magazine would start arriving. I told her it usually takes 6-8 weeks for the first issue. This was not the case at all! It was only a matter of a few weeks and she was so excited to get her first issue! This is a magazine I grew up with and now my daughter gets to do the same.
Great gift for teenagers.

I bought this magazine last Christmas when a special deal came across my e-mail and bought it for my daughter and niece as one of their presents and they were thrilled with it. I have since renewed my daughter's magazine because she reads it cover to cover when it comes in. I'm glad I decided to try it for them because they both seemed to really enjoy it.
