I believe teens need magazines. I always thought of Bliss as the place readers could go when they felt they couldn’t talk to their parents, and their friends might not necessarily have the right answers. Teens will turn to the internet, and I think there’s a real danger that parents will do their best to protect them by limiting their access to it, instead of encouraging them to talk about what they’ve seen and how it made them feel. Bliss never sought to replace the internet, but it did engage its readers in conversations about it, with advice on how to negotiate the tricky terrain of social media, and how it was natural to be curious about adult content, but it usually bore no reflection on real life.
