[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]omg i lived off of Seventeen, YM, and Sassy. Marie Claire and Glamour were later like senior year of high school. And Cosmo (I would read my older sister's) back in those days was the racier of the bunch. lol. I so wish there was an equivalent to YM/Seventeen that my daughter could read. Those magazines were formative for me in learning about style and make-up,  health-related/relationship topics, learning about issues of the time impacting young women. My teen gets random bits of information from tiktok and that's just not the same and has zero substance.  [/quote]

Yeah, I often find myself wishing there were some source of advice about personal hygiene and sexual health for my DD that came in the mail in a glossy package rather than out of my mouth. Not that I’m necessarily afraid to talk about these things with her, she just doesn’t want to hear about it from me. And agree that TikTok has taken the place of those magazines, but it’s such a cesspool and can be really bad for them mentally.[/quote]

I needed those magazines as a kid because my mom did NOT discuss those things with me. I'm very open with my daughter and want her to hear these things from me and not from Tik Tok, as well, but often when we're discussing topics like make-up or hair, she'll say, oh I can watch a tutorial on TT or YouTube and I agree with you--there's so much crap to weed through on there to get something useful out of it.
