Girls\u2019 Life<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(GL) magazine was founded in August 1994 (yes, we\u2019re ancient, we know) by Karen Bokram. Since then, GL has grown from a 23-year-old\u2019s pipe dream project to a best-selling and award-winning platform for tween and teen girls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

GL is dedicated to informing, inspiring and entertaining girls around the globe\u2014and that includes everything from starting your business (we LOVE spotlighting smart, successful teens\u2026so if you have a great story,\u00a0holler at us here<\/a>) to putting up with periods (tons of tampon help here<\/a>) to styling a personal look you\u2019ll love (fashion + beauty advice<\/a>\u00a04-ever).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And we\u2019re delivering all this awesome content in more ways than ever: The print edition of\u00a0Girls\u2019 Life<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0hits newsstands (find it near you<\/a>) and mailboxes (subscribe here<\/a>) six times per year. You can read the mag on your device (get digital here<\/a>). We\u2019ve also got a website that publishes original content across nine verticals every single day (from breakfast recipes to breakup remedies, we\u2019ve got it). And because we love being social IRL, we dig social media, too\u2014we\u2019re on all the major platforms (peep our Instagram here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of IRL, we\u2019re also proud to present a line-up of signature and annual events\u2014like Back-to-School Fashion Bash (our free music and fashion festival), Rock Your Life (a teen leadership and empowerment summit), Fitness Fest (a wellness workshop) and more.<\/p>\n
