How "Teen" Is Nineteen?

This piece is cross-posted from SexReally.com, where it was posted on Friday, October 9th.
Even before it hits the newsstands, November's Teen Vogue has people talking.
Why? Because the cover displays two 19-year-old supermodels, one of whom, Jourdan Dunn, is pregnant.
Critics say Dunn shouldn't be there because she is a role model for teen girls. She makes pregnancy look cool - and there are way too many pregnant teens already.
I'm going to raise a different issue. Why is either model - Dunn or Chanel Iman - on the cover? Vogue, I could see, but Teen Vogue? Though technically teenagers, Dunn and Iman have a lot more in common with 20- and 30-something women than girls who just got their braces removed.
