is the magazine cosmopolitan a good magazine for teens?

Question

I see that all of the people at my sisters school have it (well not all) and the other day she asked me for a copy but i dont know if thats a good magazine for an 18 year old?

Answer 1

They have Cosmo Teen(that's what my daughter reads) out in stores. Cosmo is geared towards women in their 20s and beyond. They have way too adult content that you may not think that's appropriate. Why don't you and your daughter go to the store together and check out different mags together. Make it a family affair!

Answer 2

No cosmopolitan magazine is more of a 20's and 30's magazine instead of 18 year olds mag! A good magazine for 18 year olds: teen people and YM.

Answer 3

I wouldn't recommend it for a woman of any age since the basic theme of Cosmo is "you're not a real woman unless you starve yourself into anorexia and sleep around" but it's definitely not a good magazine for teens. It promotes a lot of really unhealthy values.

Answer 4

it's a fine magazine for an 18 year old

Answer 5

no. there is too much information in there targeted for an older audience. 20's and 30's. they sell a Cosmo aimed at the teen population; look for that on the magazine stands.

Answer 6

for 18+ is fine. under that age I would go with Cosmo girl magazine. or guideposts sweet 16 magazine. :)


Also, glamour and self are good magazines for that age.

Answer 7

for an 18 year old, kinda, but not for like , younger than 15.

Answer 8

J-14, Bop, Tiger Beat, People, etc.

Answer 9

If my daughter was a teen I wouldn't let her read it...luckily she's only 9 months

Answer 10

I will tell u something
if someone tells u NO u pretend like they said YES
that's just a way it is
