Video games fucktard!
La Dogdick! I got 6 already!
Maybe cause they were the original 17 year olds????? I'm sure your a subscriber Perezita!
idiots. those magazines are garbage.
haha That's funny. I'm 25, almost 26… and I purposely stay away from these mags because I always just assumed they were tween like.
They spend half their time on instant messaging using 'words' that barely make a syllable. There's no way they could read something as intellectually advanced as Seventeen!
that is a little creepy and sad. I stopped buying Seventeen when I got out of high school. What could they be learning from those mags?
eww if you are 25 reading teen or teen vogue you just might be atotal pervert…that or an idiot that is in denial they are no longer young…EWWW!
And here I was embarrassed that I still read it when I was eighteen.
Ive read these things since I was 13, I wasnt going to stop just because I became an adult.
lol it's called Quarter-life crisis…Their taking that 30's the new 20 thing to seriously now-a-days..Now 20's the new teen's damn shame
Its all about Cosmopolitan
not really a surprise… you think about how old those people were when they started reading the magazine, probably in their teens, and they just still read it when they are older.
Wow. Weird.
You were just whining before about magazine layoffs. At least these have readers moron. Slow news day, no?
theyre reading cosmo and learning to be baby whores like slutty cyrus.
having sex!! who reads nowadays…stupid kids
GOOD! Teenagers don't need to be reading that stuff, anyway. It's magazines like that that cause young girls to take off their clothes and send naked cell phone pictures out to people…
that's really really weird…where i'm from we all read tiger beat when we were 10, seventeen when we were 13, and cosmo when we were 17…
thats because teens are in the internet reding all the same stuff for free
magazines are kinda becoming an older people thing
that's actually really sad
wow. i would have guessed that the average age for those magazines would be 11-14 and the average age for Cosmo to be 16-20.
Cause they grew up readin 17 not 17 yr olds
Weird. I gave up those magazines after my freshman year of college.
LOL Losers. No wonder theres 25-30 yr old women who think/act like they're 16! Reading "teen" magazines prob makes them feel youthful! Old hags!
It's probably pervy men. I read that shit when when I was a teen, i'm 28 now and there's no way you catch me dead reading one.
That is just embarrassing for whoever is reading that.
Come on.
And I bet the majority of the readers are men.
Not surprising.

Old Farts trying to look like a teenybopper…bunch of madonna-fugly wanna -bes
i used to get this teen vogue too (and i'm not a teen). they send it free when you subscribe to other magazines. i just started getting it in the mail.
it's one of the worst magazines ever. they usually go into my recycling bin or to my little sister. she doesn't even like reading them.
what? I stopped reading seventeen when i was nineteen! and YM and 'teen? like when i was eighteen. who would want to read 'em?
If you're 27 and reading articles about how to survive a college frat party & embarassing stories about girls farting in front of their crush, there is something wrong with you.
ON THE INTERNET, IT'S CHEAPER!
Re: crazymegtay – LOL Well said!
Shit. 17 must have changed, I quit reading that mag when I was 15 because I thought it was immature…
wow, i stopped reading seventeen when i was like 12.
Hmmm, that's kind of pathetic.
ew i'm 21 and don't read them anymore.
what coulda 25 y/o get out of seventeen magazine, go pick up Marie Claire everyone knows its the best mag out there.
this stat comes from MRI Magazine Audience estimates and is based only on adults aged 18 or older. so of course the average would be above 18. i think the real average is muuuuuuuch lower.
i stopped reading seventeen and teen vogue after i graduated high school.
who over the age of 20 wants to read about the Jonas brothers and prom dresses?
I stopped reading the teen versions of those magazines when I was like 15/16. O_o
Doesnt surprise me a bit. when i was in high school (almost 10 years ago), everyone was reading Cosmo not Seventeen. Little girls want to be grown, so they read the grown folks magazines, thats why they are all getting pregnant , and more worried about pleasing their boyfriends, then graduating high school.
I read Teen Vogue and I'm 22! I get it for the fashion - has anyone actually looked at the prices of items featured in regular Vogue??? The outfits styled in Teen Vogue are actually quite mature and I can afford $200 items, as opposed to the £2000 clothing and £16000 jewellery that's featured in the regular magazine!
i think it's time for those in their mid-twenties to move out of their teenage years. the writing in those magazines is atrocious.
plus, someone who is 20+ shouldn't really be having the same interests and issues that a 17 year old would have. that's just sad. welcome to adulthood, ladies!
I have no idea where they are… I am one and I read both. I think teenagers are trying to be too old and people who are growing older are trying to stay teenagers… That is just my opinion…
As long as they are Female readers. If it were men that aged reading it, well that would be just a little too creepy for me!
I'm 19 and properly think people give me funny looks If I bought it. It's called 17 for a reason ladies
i'm 20 and i still read teen vouge and i'm a dude (major homo)
*GASP* Oh my gosh! Who gives a shit?
I am 23 and I read teen vogue because the fashion is a lot more affordable than in regular vogue
I LOVE 17 mag and I am 23 lol. I also like Teen Vogue. The regular vogue has too many adds and shit.
i stopped reading them after high school……………….
i'm 23 and i still read 17 magazine …lol
I LOVE Seventeen, and I'm 26, suck it! lol Seriously the magazine has great tips, I don't particularly care about how to impress the popcorn guy at my local theater, or how to make up for sleeping in class all year.
).
However there are good news stories and beauty topics in every issue.
What's sad is we're all commenting on Perez Hilton's blog about Seventeen magazine, or really anything. Let's all get lives people.
BTW I've read Seventeen since I was a kid (at least 16 or more years
I believe it is because the new generation of teens is simply not reading print anymore. If they read - they have a plethora of online options right at their finger-tips (blogs, on-line news and gammer sites, etc.) Also, they can get any information or entertainment that might want from videos on YouTube and the like. They just don't appreciate the novelty of print anymore. Studies show that reading printed words on paper engages a lot more brain activity than reading from a computer screen. Let's look forward to a generation of mush-brains. *Sigh*
Who reads paper?
I remember reading Teen magazine (not Seventeen) when I was 13 and the magazine had a diagram of a baseball field in it with a description of what the bases meant in regards to the baseball metaphor for sex. I was a naïve girl and shocked that they would post that in a magazine geared for girls under 17. These magazines aren’t meant for actual teenagers, but at the same time I would never want to read Seventeen magazine while I’m in my 20s. It would be an insult to my intelligence to read some of the advice questions and embarrassing moments girls send in.
That's because most teenagers have better things to do than read shit magazines like Seventeen
They probably started reading 17 and Teen Vogue as teens and continued on… I'm 19 and I still read them (true, I'm still technically a teen, but 20 is coming soon!!)
Most twenty-somethings I know act like teenagers, so this demographic sounds about right.
Weird…very weird….
teenagers don´t read.
so you ask…where are all the teens?
They are all at hugh hefners house hoping to be girlfriends.
LOL
i just turned freakin 30 and i read Teen Vogue! yikes! guess i am not the only one.
That's because many of us 20 somethings can't afford the stuff in real vogue and all the other fashion magazines for 'adults' but we still want to look good.
As for the teens, they're are all giving rim jobs and getting anal behind the dumpster at wal-mart. God, Perez, get with it.
I read…I'm 14…
