4D Culture Corner Teenage Magazines Exercise 3 page 41 British teenage magazines about half of British young people aged 12 to 16 read teenage magazines.0:01
Two of the most popular magazines for girls are Top of the Pops and Shout.0:32
They have glossy, colorful covers and include beauty and fashion, celebrity gossip, real life stories, horoscopes, quizzes and problem pages.0:38
Of course, boys don't usually find these magazines very interesting.0:50
Instead, they buy music magazines like Q magazine or read web magazines about sport like Shoot or Match.0:56
Usually teenage magazines contain a lot of language that only teenagers use.1:07
They might use celeb instead of celebrity, for example, or fave instead of favourite.1:13
They also say lads instead of boys, dosh instead of money, and natter instead of talk to your friends.1:20
This makes the magazines more attractive to teenagers and easier to understand.1:29
On a more serious note, though, a lot of these magazines can help teens find solutions to problems they don't feel comfortable discussing with their parents.1:35
That's why the problem pages in these magazines are very popular.1:46
In fact, many teens buy them just for the problem page.1:51
