The June 1989 issue starts with a downbeat feature to end all downbeat features: first-person accounts from survivors of incestuous child abuse. Fortunately, the rest of the issue keeps it light: Karen tells you how to land a summer job; Christina profiles young-adult activists; all the female staffers discuss where the best guys come from. Outside the features, there’s blisters, butt pimples, London slang, guys’ views on feminists, a Hall Of Fame Stuff You Wrote submission, and so much more! Sit your pimply butt down and listen!
