Answer 1

no ur fine.....they just put 17 on it to seem cool its a great mag

it has like really life stories tht u can benefit from an theres nothing bad in it like cosmo or like ppl.....so i mean its fineits bascailly like a style mag so ur fine....

Answer 2

No... just say it had lots of great info that can help you, instead of getting wrong info from friends.

I have the same overprotective mom problem.. but maybe you should write to the magazine and ask them what age groups they suggest for their mag. Im pretty sure it will include at least 14 so you could use that as backup. Believe me.. ive been stuck in this situation more than once but it'll get better... :)

Answer 6

Seventeen is definetly not too old for you; I was getting it when I was 13 and 14. Maybe your mom is just skeptical because of the name. There isn't anything inappropriate, and you are right..many comments in the magazine are from 14 year olds, and even some are from younger readers. Almost every part of the magazine is suitable for teenagers, and most of the articles relate to fashion, beauty, style, some celebrities, and becoming a better person with articles about developing self-esteem, etc. They always have an article about making body peace as part of their Seventeen Body Peace Treaty. In addition, Seventeen always tries to have articles that inspire teens and that help them to become better individuals by giving websites for charity work, etc. that people as young as 13 can participate in during summer holidays, or just every day in general. There is nothing that I have ever read in Seventeen before that was inappropriate. There were a few stories in the past (as part of the life stroies section) that were graphic, but they always give you a warning on the page so that you don't read it if it's that bad. Over the past few years, I have only seen one article like this. If your mom still has an issue, maybe compromise to buy an issue as a trial and read it together so she can see exactly what's in it. Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to you; it's one of my favorite magazines! :D

Answer 7

no but there are some articles that you have to be very mature to read.

Answer 8

i don't think so.

-there isn't anything too inappropriate, and you are right..many comments in the magazine are from 14 year olds.

-about 70% of the articles are about fashion, beauty, and style, and becoming a better person

- seventeen tries to have articles that inspire teens and that help them to become better indiviuals ( Seventeen Body Peace Treaty...or the Freshman Fifteen that gives you an insight to college)

-most 14 year olds are freshmen in high school, so i would think that you are okay

you could buy a seventeen magazine a read it with your mom so she would see what's in it, and so she wouldn't be as  apprehensive about you subscribing to it

Answer 9

No they just named it that becuse it was the closet thing to adlut but they didnt want "18" so they did "17" to show for all teeans and young adults

Answer 10

theres nothing wrong I'm 13 and I read it they just name it like that
