I guess I'm one of those not-too-far-out-of-adolescence types (24). I used to subscribe to Seventeen, YM, and... Sports Illustrated. I never quite fit the mold. So I don't have any great magazine recommendations.

I know you're not really asking about health books--and it sounds like you already have good discourse on sensitive topics--but I do have a recommendation in that arena that I wanted to pass along to you or anyone else with a pre-teen daughter/niece/etc who might benefit from it. My mom didn't *avoid* talking about sex/periods/etc with me, but I was a voracious reader (and a little awkward ) as a kid so I think she felt a book would be best for me rather than bombarding me with "the talk."

Anyway, the book is called "It's A Girl Thing: How to Stay Healthy, Safe, and In Charge". I'd say that the fact that it's still being published (since 1996... I think my mom got it for me when I was 10 or 11 so it was brand new, then!) and the fact that I remembered the title after all these years is a positive testament. The only negative reviews it appears to have on Amazon are from parents who took issue with its very frank discussions about sex/birth control/STDs, which I suppose all depends on your personal philosophy. But I was glad that I learned about some of that stuff from a book written at my level rather than rumors in the grammar-school cafeteria--without always having to ask my mom about *everything*.

Anyway, good luck in your search. It sounds like you and your daughter make a great team.
