Being introduced to Teen Ink this past year has been a wonderful experience. Although it is a class requirement, each month I have the opportunity to express my feelings and say what's on my mind. Any teen can share feelings through poetry, opinion articles, stories, and art.

Sometimes teens feel like they don't have a way to express their thoughts or feelings, but the easiest way for many is to articulate these into words for others to read. By allowing teens to share their feelings in a magazine made specifically for teens by teens, Teen Ink has created a connection between teenagers across the country (and the world). Teen Ink allows anyone to express themselves and show their true, and relatively anonymous, self.
