Critical Evaluation
Seventeen is a typical fashion, pop culture magazine. The positive thing about it is that it isn't just shallow articles and pictures of beautiful models, although there is plenty of that to be found throughout its pages. The magazine does its best to promote a healthy, positive message to its readers with advice columns about sex and relationships.
