The Perfect Line between American Girl and Teen

I have read this magazine ever since my subscription of American Girl ran out, and have continued with my subscription after being caught by the teen magazine itch, reading such beauty-guy-love issues of Seventeen, Teen and the ever-distinct "dare to be different" Teen People.

Thoroughly reading every single section in Girls' Life, it is a way for me to drift back into a more innocent me from, say, 6th grade. But it still deals with issues that are continuously brought up even as girls grow up, and has some great advice on simple problems (that maybe was a bigger deal when i was younger). Plus, the competing teen mags are no match in beauty tips...there is less indirect advertising in this magazine and it focuses more on just your beauty dilemma and how to fix it in general rather than offering up products. Growing up can be a lot easier if you have an issue in reach. The clothes are really cute and many times "old enough" for me to wear even now, and the whole attitude is very refreshing. Kudos to Girls' Life for creating a no-pressure, mature realistic magazine for adolescent girls!
