Pretty Amazing Real Girls

Seventeen magazine did a pretty revolutionary thing for a teen periodical - it featured a normal reader as its cover girl for the first time this month! They chose 5 girls from thousands of applicants who do good, and flew them to NYC for a week before choosing the final girl. They even had a tearful goodbye at the end of the week, despite the fact that it was a competition. That shows the tremendous character of all of them (see title link).

Guns

Did you know that a serious issue in the United States is female gun control? We always percieve guys with violence and shooting, but now girls are following the trend. Some believe that it makes them feel powerful and strong; in fact, 45% of Seventeen magazine readers who took a poll (see title link) had shot a gun before. Scary, huh?
