Pros: It has very imformative information that my 11 yr. old can read
Cons: I can't think of any some parents might think it is for teens.

"My daughter loves this magazine. She reads from cover to cover. The information she reads on how to handle things, and how other girls in her age group feels, has been good for her. She now knows that she is the same as everbody else.Alot of girls have problems dealing with this transition into becoming a teen and this has been a great asset to us. I even read the articles which helps me with her transition too. I give this magazine 5 stars all around, Seventeen,Cosmogirl,Teen Vogue are all advertisements. Try this magazine !!!!!!!!!"

Pros: Articles with Stars, good photos
Cons: content a bit more mature than needed for girls under 12

"I would not recommend this magazines to any girl under 12-13 years of age. Focuses too much on boys and appearance. Discusses things like pregnancy, feeling like the girl thinks boys may only like her because she has developed large breasts early, boy crazy, etc. Let's allow our young girls to be innocent while they can. Maturilty lasts forever."

"I think this is a magazine for 11-15 year olds. if you are too old for discovery girl and too young for seventeen magazine (like me) this is a good magazine to buy. this magazine isn't too adult if you are over 11 years old."

Cons: Needs more pictures

"This is a good magazine. I've been getting it for a few years. The only thing is the minimal reccomended age is 10. It should start at 12. I'm sure that 10 yr olds don't need to be wearing wedges or needing concealer when they're only in 4th or 5th grade!"

"I like GL, but its more teen centered than younger kids (no offense 11 and unders). I think that you should be at least 12 to start reading GL. It's not bad, it just has more boy stuff than younger girls need."

Worst purchase ever, May 21, 2007
By TJS

"This magazine was sold through school magazine sales as a fundraiser. The sales material printed this magazine to be for 9+ year olds.

To my shock this magazine is very inappropriate for my 9 yr. old daughter who is really mature for her age. Articles on body image and how to get that boy to notice you are subjects for 13+. This is a teen magazine and should not have been promoted for girls 12 and under. I'm very disappointed with the purchase, and would not purchase it again."

Girls' Life, April 25, 2006
By Jasmine from San Jose CA

"Simply terrific! All content is suitable for young, pre-mature and mature girls. The articles really portray what life as a girl is truly like. Not only does this magazine give great advice on daily-life situations, it also keeps you updated on the latest music, movies, and books. I was very satisfied with the topics of discussion in Girls' Life, and I believe that any girl from the ages of 8 to 14 (in general, ages may vary) will enjoy reading this info-filled magazine."
