Teen Vogue Is Now Promoting Actual Communism

When I was a teenager, I loved going to Target and stacking up on magazines. My bedroom was covered in pictures of the teen idols of the 2000s like Zac Efron, Demi Lovato, and Vanessa Hudgens. But teen magazines seem to have changed these days.

One of my favorite magazines as a teenager was Teen Vogue. I loved flipping through their pages of glamorous ads and affordable ways to copy celebrity fashion. Lauren Conrad also interned at Teen Vogue when she was on The Hills, and every teenage girl in the 2000s wanted to be like Lauren Conrad. (Not going to lie, I’m still a fan of her). Unfortunately, Teen Vogue isn’t what it used to be. Their fun articles on beauty and fashion have been replaced with articles encouraging teenage girls to participate in radical politics.
