What Parents Need to Know
About Seventeen
Parents need to know that this site is the online companion to the popular Seventeen magazine and is rife with gossip, beauty tips, and buying advice. The sex talk does get intimate, and a lot of the material is inappropriate for teens younger than 15 or even 16 -- even though girls start reading the magazine, and therefore coming to the site, earlier than that. The site gives frank and honest advice about sexual activity from hooking up to having sex, along with first-person accounts of dating stories. Tweens and teens will be bombarded with ads and shopping information.

Well... talk to your parents first.
Well Seventeen magazine and website is probably for 14 and up or if you have had the talk. I made the mistake of subscribing and have learned some things I really was intended on learning. The fashion section is cool but watchout when you come to the health-sex-fitness section. As a catholic, we do not believe in any sexual things before marriage. In Seventeen, they talk about sex before marriage possibly at age 17 and up. In one issue they said you don't need your parents permission to start the pill, whereas the pill is reffering to birth control. So if you wanna go to seventeen website or read seventeen, skip the sex section or talk to your parents first before reading it. But the fashion tips and makeup is cool!!
