Seventeen is the No. 1 magazine for teenage girls. For more than 60 years, the magazine has
been the trusted source for all things fashion, beauty, health, dating, and lifestyle related. It's fun to be
Seventeen!
It is an online companion containing lightweight fluff to useful information. Teens can get advice on choosing a college, or learn about internships and financial aid. The Health, Sex & Fitness section offers basic, but frank advice - from healthy eating to contraception. All the sections offer Q&As, answered by Seventeen editors.
Any girls’ teen
magazine would be incomplete without a healthy dose of boy talk, and this site delivers that, too, in the form of "on-the-street" interviews with boys weighing in on topics like who should pay on a date, or what they look for in a girl
Giving a thumbs-up/ down to celebrities' red-carpet wardrobes or voting for your favorite spring shoes and see how your opinion compares to other readers is really very exciting.
Parents need to know that this site is the online companion to the popular Seventeen magazine. The sex talk does get intimate; the site gives frank and honest advice about sexual activity from hooking up to having sex, along with first-person accounts of dating stories.
There are plenty of Web-only features that are fun to play around with, like polls, pod casts, streaming videos showing interviews with Seventeen staffers, and games like Shopdoku (a fusion of shopping and sudoku) and Dance Party.
Of course, the site is rampant with advertising -- each click brings you a message from a different advertiser, from clothing stores to beauty products.
