Going Downhill
Girl's Life used to be a wonderful magazine, with articles that were helpful and fun. However, lately Girl's Life has been turning the focus of the magazine from the helpful and fun side of you to the gossipy and fashion-obsessed side of you. Their latest issue has been the worst. There was a three-page article on how to give the perfect kiss! Along with that was an equally long article on how to get the "perfect look" and three quizzes, which would normally have been okay but these ones were stupid. What really gets me is that on their website, they have a question of the week, and one week's question was, "Do you think girls ages 12-15 should be kissing?" (The question, of course, was based on angry calls from parents about the kissing article.) That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that they say Girl's Life is for girls ages 10-15, not 12-15! If you can stand the gossipy articles, then you can keep on subscribing, but otherwise I would suggest that you cancel your subscription and try American Girl, Discovery Girls, or New Moon.

Too inappropriate!
I think GIRLS' LIFE is a very inappropriate magazine for girls ages 10-14. I am an 18-year-old girl, and I was flipping through a recent issue of this magazine and found it to be way inappropriate. Some of the stuff they talked about was okay for girls in that age level, but most of it was for older teens! I saw some of the fashion clothes that they advertised in the magazine, and all I can say is: "What parent in their right mind would allow their 10 to 14-year-old girls wear those kind of clothes?!". Now, don't get me wrong, I have an 11-year-old sister. But some of the clothes I see her wear are so inappropriate, from my point of view at least!

They also give a lot of advice about guys, dating, crushes, etc. And it's like, jeeze! You guys shouldn't even be DATING yet, let alone wondering how you can get your first kiss! I was reading a bunch of the help questions and help advice from the readers of this magazine, and I found some certain questions that they shouldn't be concerned about or shouldn't be asking about. I know, I know. Girls have to grow up sometime. And trust me, you will. But you don't need inappropriate magazines like GIRLS' LIFE to help you grow up and mature!

The reason why I gave this magazine 2 stars instead of just 1 is because I found the celebrity stuff to be okay and appropriate, but the rest of it is not! I can't believe parents are letting their 10-year-old girls read this junk! Don't they know what's in here?!

I suggest that you do not let your daughters subscribe to GIRLS' LIFE magazine until you take a moment or two and read an issue yourself and then make the decision whether it is appropriate or not for your child!

For the Girly Girl Only
I subscribed to this magazine because it looked good-it had won the Parent's Choice Award, and it was ages 10-15. I've only gotten about 3 issues of it, and I don't like it. Most of the articles about crushes and fashion and dating, and the magazine usually displays parents (or should I say the "rents") as bad guys! Some parts are good, like GL Fun and Short Stuff. But I'd have to say that this magazine doesn't talk too much about sports and crafts and other stuff that girls like. If you're a girly kind of girl that's obsessed with boys and fashion, then you'll LOVE Girl's Life. Otherwise, skip it.
