Ana, these magazines can be quite addictive, can’t they? But it’s good that you and her teacher aren’t allowing her to waste important school hours this way. What she will learn in school is way more valuable than anything these magazines can teach her.

Glad to hear you’ve found a good use for those mags, too.

Ms. Martinez told me that she would throw the mag away in front of My daghter, Veronica and after school would take the magazines home and shred them up and use them for mulch in her garden.

I also did these becase I wastired of my daughter thinking that school is for Fashion and Beauty, she would bring them and read them during school when she is supposed to be paying attention to the teacher. She got them confiscated. I told her teacher Ms. Martinez to throw them away every time.

My Amiga uses fashion magazines to carry her wet kitchen waste to the garbage . She plops a magazine down where she is working and dumps the waste on top of the magazine and grabs the corners of it a, rolls it up and tossess away

Ana, I think we all went through a phase when we were obsessed with these mags as a teen. They seem so innocent, don’t they? Your daughter is lucky to have a mother who understands their dangers and is trying to protect her.

My teen age daughter is obsessed with these garbage fashion magazines, Latina, Cosmo, Glamour. Latina used to be a decent magazine that. Seems to have gone the way of Cosmo (trash). I gathered up all her magazines and burned them up( I paid for them) if she wants to read about fashion she can read my WomansWorld. The none of these trashy fashion magazines.

Pastela, I couldn’t have said it better. These mags promote superficiality, double standards, and ideas of what a woman should be that that are unattainable and wrong. It’s best to leave them on the shelves and buy a good book instead.
