Of course, boys don’t usually find these magazines very interesting! Instead, they buy music magazines like ‘NME’ or magazines about sport, like ‘Shoot’ or ‘Match’. Usually, teenage magazines contain a lot of language that only teenagers use! They might use ‘celeb’ instead of celebrity, for example, or ‘fave’ instead of favourite. They also use ‘lads’ instead of ‘boys’, ‘dosh’ instead of ‘money’ and ‘natter’ instead of ‘talk to your friends’! This makes the magazines more attractive to teenagers and easier to understand.
