January 1989 Teen Life: Tattoos, Teen Dads & The First-Ever Sassiest Girl In America
3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 1989, and we're kicking off our coverage of the January issue by talking about its Teen Life topics. What's teen pregnancy like for the dads? Why is your body going wacko? How did Christina survive an Outward Bound rafting trip? And who was named the very first Sassiest Girl In America? (Okay, the cover kind of gives that one away.) There's also What He Said about tattoos; a trip to Wabash, IN; another too-whimsical fiction story; a wildly fake It Happened To Me; and so much more. Make some noise!
