I recently went to the local convenience store and thumbed through the two magazines cosmo girl and cosmopolitan. I also contacted a profesional (my girlfriend) and got an inside word on this topic. i was very suprised at how the marketing of these two different magazines is supposed to be targeted at teenagers for cosmo girl and 19 and older for cosmopolitan, yet the content between these two magazines is not different at all. each magazine magazine had content that included the latest fashion tips, stories from girls with experiences ranging from boys to emabarassing moments in their life, and the infamous sex tips. what really suprised me is they were putting sex tips in cosmo girl! this is a magazine that freaking 7th graders read. 7th grader sure as hell do not need any sex tips that early in the game. I do believe however they put this content in there just because girls at thet age or more curious about exactly what sex is rather than actually performing the act. I also feel that they are mking this information too permiscous for kids this age. I understand that this a magazine that is supposed to answer questionf for young teen girls who want to know sexual things, but it is sometimes jut a little too blunt. Also, i noticed the advertisements that they had in the magazines,. They all depict women as being tall and slender. this can make girls this age feel down on temselves becasue obviously not all of them have gone through puberty and developed. it can casue some bad habits early with girls this age. they need to reaanalyze the target audience and content they put in the cosmo girl magazine,.
