Our subscription department allows anyone over 13 to request or order the magazine, renew a subscription, give a gift subscription or give us a change of address. In order to process those requests, we need to have the following information: Your name, address, e-mail address. We will also ask for the name and address of the girl you are sending the magazine to. If you are renewing or changing your address, we will also ask for your customer number.

Will anyone know how I answer questions on your site? Or if I ask them?
Girlslife.com visitors can send questions to several different experts whose wisdom we share on our web site.
• We ask that all girls sign their letters with a nickname or name related to the concern (i.e. Boy Baffled, In Need of a Mascara Master, Bewildered and Confused, etc).
• For Question of the Week, girls are asked to submit their answers to different types of questions. Girls' Life publishes some of these results in the magazine, others may be used on-line. The information is collected and published without any personal data.
