One-of-a-Kind Magazine is Written Mostly By Its Own Young Readers
What really makes DG a one-of-a-kind magazine is that over half of its content is written by the readers themselves. Each month the magazine travels to a new state and finds twelve girls that according to Catherine "...stand out as role models, girls with something interesting to say, girls who simply have that special spark...and we also try to get a diverse group in terms of size, ethnic background, and looks, so all girls will feel like they see girls just like themselves on our pages." Those girls then receive writing assignments that become the articles for the magazine.

Good pre teen magazine
This magazine is definitely a keeper. It teaches kids to cope with their age problems in a great way, telling real life stories. Has all the fun activities and fashion and care tips as well. Both my 8 year old and the 11 year old daughters love it.
not appropriate for 8-10 year olds
I don't think that the age range is correct for this magazine. What 8 year old is concerned about boyfriends and popularity issues? Furthermore, it is shocking that so many "girl" magazines focus on nothing but fashion, boys and looking sexy. Some of the girls photographed in this magazine are being made up to look like women already.
Why does our society have to keep pushing girls to grow up so fast. They have the rest of their life to worry about boys! The sheer innocence of childhood should be deeply valued by society not rejected. However, the magazines have to make money, don't they? Yes, and they keep making money by indoctrinating girls into thinking that being sexy and catching guys are the most important things in life. It's too bad that parents keep buying these trashy magazines thereby perpetuating the cycle.
