| throwingcopper's Full Review: Jump Magazine |
"Jump is for girls who dare to be real."
Give me a break. Please tell me none of you people actually buy into this propaganda of trash. "Jump" is no different from any other mundane teeni-bopper magazine out there. They are all the same, "Teen," "Seventeen," "Twist," whatever. They all contain the same material on the same subjects issue after issue. They all have a Prom mega-issue in January filled with one advertisement after another on this night of extreme hype and major let down. These magazines fill teenagers minds with garbage. With immature articles such as "Get that guy!" and "Fall fashion lineup" it's no wonder our minds have turned to mush. All the articles are written on a fourth grade reading level. They all use seventh grade buzz words made up by the forty year old men writing these articles in attempt to grab the attention of the young and gullible.
Just like the rest of shallow America, "Jump" is nothing different. These magazines survive on those dying to be beautiful, dying to live up to the pretty image of yet another teen icon on the cover. "Jump" claims to be able to tell you how to do it every issue with their make-up tips, beauty guide, insane fashions that no normal person would ware, and quizzes of fluff that are actually meant to be taken seriously.
This magazine should be re-named to "How to be shallow 101" since that's all it teaches young teens to be. It tells them how to be "cool" on the outside, how to get guys though putting some glitter on your eyelids, playing childish mind games by not returning phone calls, prancing around in some skimpy outfit and putting that sickening smelling body spray junk that makes you- and the room- stink. If this is what it takes to get that dream guy, he's not worth it.
Does this magazine ever tell you about real issues such as college or improving yourself as a person? Does it ever inform it's readers of world issues and important current events? Does this magazine do anything to make its readers more intelligent? No. The only thing it teaches teens is how to be Barbie. It was bad enough that as children most girls were subjected to playing with these dolls of Satan but now we are being instructed how to physically be one.
Put down your fashion magazines girls. They won't tell you anything you're going to want to know in twenty years. Love yourself for what you already are. Not what a magazine tells you to be.
