Your Teen Magazine

Welcome to Your Teen Media, your go-to resource for parenting teens. Though we are just twelve years old, we have gained extensive knowledge about navigating the teenage years. Your Teen was founded from a genuine passion and a recognized need. Friends Stephanie Silverman and Susan Borison discovered that their own worries about parenting resonated with many others they spoke to. As they questioned whether their teens’ challenges were common, they found that many parents shared similar feelings of uncertainty. The books and magazines they had trusted when their kids were younger didn’t provide the guidance they needed for their teenagers. This realization led to the creation of Your Teen Media. Today, we are proud to be a trusted source for parents looking for reliable information and advice on raising teenagers. We are excited to support you on this journey!
