Seventeen mag is giving out WRONG health info?!?!?!?

Question

For example, two or three issues ago, they had s*x questions. One person asked "Can you get pregnant if you're having your period?" Seventeen said no. THIS IS FALSE!!! You CAN get pregnant while having your period, it's just rare.

Last issue, they had STD health. They stated mono never goes away. It does.

This is pissing me off and most likely there's a few (stupid) pregnant teens out there now.

Answer 1

I agree with you that its annoying, but instead of complaining about it to some random people online who most likely cant do anything about it, shouldnt you be complaining to the magazine?

Answer 2

Their will always be a few stupid pregnant teens out there, but i highly doubt that a magazine as superficial as seventeen will be to blame. I mean who in the h**l gets there health info from the same magazine that gives them tips on which hairstyle is the best for their face shape.

Answer 3

I think they meant the mono virus never really leaves your system but you do develop antibodies and symptoms go away. So I think they were a little too ambiguous.

The first part really ticks me off too though.

Answer 4

wow thats BAD!

why dont u email them or tell them somehow cause there are some girls out there acually believing it....

Answer 5

write to them.

Answer 6
