[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think The New Yorker Magazine is a great resource for mature high schoolers.  Non-fiction long-form journalism is very educational and teaches how to sustain interest in a piece. The New Yorker also has cartoons and short humor pieces.  However, it also does have heavy, adult topics. So it's not for sheltered kids.

To me SATC-type content is junk food - adult versions of "boys and clothes" books for teens.  I prefer to let kids find their own "sexy" material instead of handing it to them.  I read "Princess Daisy" as a 13 year old.  My son found a few things in my library book bag that I'd rather he not have dug out (e.g., Helen Hoang - I like her books but think they would actually be better without a few gratuitous oral scenes).

You could try witty TV to develop an ear.  I would try 30 Rock and The Good Place for a teen girl.[/quote]

One can read both the New Yorker and Candace Bushnell. They’re not mutually exclusive. [/quote]

Yes, but the New Yorker is a convenient gift,  keeps you culturally up to date, has beautiful advertising (and a fashion issue), and may help prep for SATs due to the nature of the writing.

Much better gift for an intelligent daughter.
