We learned a lot from reading teen magazines. From the no-nonsense beauty advice (“50 hairstyles to toast his crumpet!”) to the fashion-forward style guides (“how to dress like a mysterious girl!”), Mizz, Sugar, J17 and Bliss were our boyband-covered Bibles.

But our favourite bits, and the section we always flipped to first, were the problem pages. Here we learnt the tricks of the trade to guarantee our ability to snog a man, tame a man and – when he inevitably started passing notes to our best friend or criticising our hairstyle – ditch a man (and it was always a man – evidently, gay relationships didn't exist in 90s teen mags).

Of course, this was all years ago, so if you’re in need of a little love-life refresher course, look no further.

Here, we present the Stylist.co.uk guide to the best – and worst – relationship advice from all of our favourite teen magazines, handily broken down dilemma by dilemma.

Read below to get started, and remember – however much in lurve you feel, you’d really be nowhere without your mates.
