Women's magazines-teaching girls to grow up too fast

Elle, Glamour, Teen Vogue, Seventeen and Cosmopolitan are names quite familiar to teenagers and women of the female orientation. But which age group reads which magazine. A recent census and survey of prime girly magazine readers has shown that the age groups of the girls and women who read said magazines are much younger than the age groups these magazine articles and ads are meant to cater to. For example, the most prominent age group for women who read Seventeen magazine are aged 14-16 while the most prominent age for women who read Cosmopolitan is 17-18. Women beyond the age of eighteen tend to pick up tabloid magazines such as People and US Weekly or glamour magazines like Vanity Fair rather than Elle of Cosmo. Why is this? Was the magazine reader age different a few generations ago? Did seventeen year olds prominently read Seventeen magazine and did 20 year olds read Cosmo? Are teenage girls growing up faster than magazine's can change their pace? The age of sex and stilettos is upon ever teenage girl now-a-days. Hundreds upon hundreds of surveys have been done that show girls are having sex at a younger age that generations before them. The articles about finding the right boyfriend and getting him to kiss you no longer interest girls who have become sexually active- and articles about kinky sex positions no longer interest the women who have already mastered these positions. Not only has the idea of sex changed but also fashion. Younger girls wish to dress older and look for magazine pages advertising expensive makeup and high-heeled shoes instead of "comfortable and cute" clothing to wear for gym class. I believe that these magazines will never lose clientele because their will always be fourteen year olds and seventeen year olds that these girly glamor magazines can take under its pages but it is no mystery that these magazines cannot keep up with the rate that girls are developing themselves into women and eventually Seventeen magazine will be mostly read by ten year olds and Cosmo by fourteen year olds.
