April 1989 Teen Life: Spring Break, Cliques & Bra Sizes

The April 1989 issue is a little stripped-down -- no fiction, no quiz -- but still gives us lots to chew on. Catherine's profile of Andi, a teen addict, left us with a lot of questions. Laura Norton heads to a Yonkers high school to get close to its cliques. Christina and Jane's trip to spring break in Daytona Beach might not have gone into enough detail on a vacation that sounds like our worst nightmare. Body Talk leads us to our new favorite Las Vegas journalist. And there's also much to learn in Help, What He Said about dating a buddy's girlfriend, and a full page of Stuff You Wrote magic. We're not Cools, but we hope you hang out with us anyway.
