==History==
Teen magazines first gained prominence in the United States during the 1940s, with ''[[Seventeen (American magazine)|Seventeen]]'' magazine being the first known publication geared towards a demographic of teenage girls.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Teen Magazines - History|url = http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall07/Moorhouse/history.html|website = iml.jou.ufl.edu|access-date = 2015-12-09}}</ref> Examples of popular magazines during that time include ''[[Sassy (magazine)|Sassy]]'', ''[[YM (magazine)|YM]]'', ''[[CosmoGirl]]'', ''[[Teen (magazine)|Teen]]'', and ''Teen People''. Nowadays, popular contemporary American teen magazines include ''[[Seventeen (American magazine)|Seventeen]]'', ''[[Teen Vogue]]'', [[J-14 (magazine)|''J-14'']], and ''[[Tiger Beat]]''.

Teen magazines are produced in many countries worldwide, and are widely popular in [[Australia]], [[Latin America]], [[Europe]], and [[Asia]]. In the [[United Kingdom]], [[Fleetway]]'s ''[[Honey (magazine)|Honey]]'' (1960–1986) is regarded as having established the sector. Large-scale Canadian teen magazines include the ''[[Faze (magazine)|Faze]]''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.faze.ca|title=Faze - Love. Share. Grow.|work=Faze|access-date=30 August 2015}}</ref> magazine.

Since 1972, teen magazines in the United States have reached out to the [[African-American]] market with publications such as ''[[Right On! (magazine)|Right On!]]'' (produced by Sterling-McFadden, which also produces ''[[Tiger Beat]]'') and ''[[Word Up Magazine|Word Up!]]''.

In the United Kingdom, changes in the way teenagers spend their money (and the fact that there were fewer of them, though they had more cash) led to many casualties in the 1990s because titles were unable to compete with mobile, digital and online media. Magazine publishers have moved down the age range with publications for "tweenagers" (those aged 9 to 13) gaining popularity, such as ''It's Hot'', ''[[Bop (magazine)|BOP]]'', ''[[J-14 (magazine)|J-14]]'' and ''[[Tiger Beat]].''
