Dear Teen Ink,

I love all of the personal stories that are in the magazines. The personal stories use pathos which makes the article inspirational. If the article is on a sensitive topic like bullying or discrimination it will make me want to help out and become a better person. Like in your February issue on the article “aMErican Me” is about a guy who had white skin, but he was half Mexican and half African American. He was upset, because nobody would believe what he was saying, and he had no friends or girlfriend with his same heritage. This article made me realize that it doesn’t matter and to not even make jokes about someone’s race, religion, or sexual orientation. Teen Ink articles have inspired me to become better person in general. Also, you have made me realize how lucky I really am to have great friends, family, and life. So, thank you.

Sincerely,

Madisonn Z.
