Welcome to For Real

The UK's bestselling youth magazine

Here at For Real, we not only believe that young people's stories deserve to be told, we defend their right to tell them themselves.

For Real was started in 2014 by a group of university students who felt that young people's perspectives and experiences often went unacknowledged in the mainstream media. Today, we still strive to right this wrong by giving you the voice you deserve, and sharing the most sensational stories across the nation.

Editor's Note

For Real is a magazine unlike any other - it provides real insight into the lives of young people nationwide and gives them a chance to be heard. As a teenager I often felt magazines portrayed young people unrealistically, and stereotyped them as 'hooligans' and 'troublemakers'.

Today, I am proud to be the editor of the UK's leading youth magazine, and I hope that you can enjoy reading it as much as our 30,000 monthly readers do.
