October 1991 Teen Life: Best Friendship, Sweat Glands & The Sassiest Boy They Could Find

Even though Ian Svenonius's SBIA reign is officially ending, we have a feeling we haven't heard the last of him.
Can you maintain a close relationship with your best friends from high school? What's it like to have a port wine birthmark? How many guys say they've been cheated on? And…what's up with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process? One of these things is obviously not like the others, which is why we leave it to you to discover rather than wading into the quagmire ourselves. But! We also tell you about Mike Clark, the adorable new Sassiest Boy In America; an enjoyably offbeat fiction story; and what we think of abbreviating the word "tampons" to just "'pons." Light some incense -- ASSUMING YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE THAT A BUNCH THIS WEEK -- and join us!
