Teen Magazines

These five magazines are some examples of the many teen magazines you can get, they all have the same codes and conventions like most magazines do, but they also have certain elements that would appeal mainly to their teen audience. These magazines are mainly aimed for ages 12 to 19, and sometimes even attracting the attention of people of an older or even younger audience. 

You can see these magazines are mainly directed towards teenage girls, from the substantial use of the colour pink; which is stereotypically used as a ‘girls’ colour. Not only this, the magazines use quotes such as,’ Boy’s, BFFS and your body,’ ‘the price of pretty. How far would you go for perfection,’ to draw in young teenage girls, who are more worried about boys and how they look, then they are about how good their grades are in school.  

These magazines are also known to affect teenage girls in many ways. For example, it can make them think they're over weight, and not pretty, as well as all sorts of things like that, as many girls compare themselves to the person on the cover, which can cause them to think they're  not good enough. It also can lower their self-esteem and make them insecure about how they look.
