Looking into Ideas

I have been thinking about what route to go down (theme wise) for a magazine that would be aimed for school students for a college magazine. The main themes which i have thought of are:
-'Geek'- the ones who would want a serious magazine, including things such as revision techniques etc..
-The 'rebellious students'- who would want things such as 'how to piss your teacher off'.
- The students who 'cba'- students who are lazy, taking the piss out of 'geeks' 
- American Retro- for the students who think that they are too cool but still want to do well. include things such as 'ways to get to the top' or 'ways to get to kingston'. 
-Male focus- include things such as a car you can win advertised on the front page.
-Female focus- include things such as 'is he showing an interest in you' advertised on the front page


 When looking back at this list, the one which really appeals to me is the student who 'cba' or the American Retro theme. This is because the geek is a serious styled magazine and i think i will do a serious theme one for my music magazine, so i will do a funnier, more upbeat one for this task. I think by focusing on a gender, it limits the audience a lot more than an other focus and by focusing on a magazine for rebellious pupils, it will be hard to make it not really immature, it would be hard to get the balance between being silly but also being for the appropriate age group.
