Seventeen Magazine visits The White House

Seventeen Magazine editor in chief Atoosa Rubenstein hosted a press conference in New York for the White House drug czar to discuss new findings that girls are catching up to boys in use of illicit substances and alcohol. Jen Steele, winner of the Hearst title’s MTV reality show Miss Seventeen, made her first appearance at the event and spoke about how drug- and alcohol-related crimes have directly affected her: Both of her parents are incarcerated for drug and alcohol related abuses.
