Addicted
by Natalie H., Dell Rapids, SD
I found this article really depressing. It is hard for me to think that a 12-year-old would start doing drugs and drinking beer.

After-School Jobs
by Brianna S., Glendale, AZ
Emily G., author of “After-School Jobs,” makes a great point. I, too, believe that we should be able to have jobs to help us manage our time better.

Declaration of Independence From Men
by Matthew C., Appleton City, MO
I found this piece to be a gross stereotype of men. Author Caitlin B. lumped us all into the same group: helpless, stupid, sexist pigs. In reality most men, at least the ones I call friends, are kind and respectful toward women.

by Anna M., Wethersfield, CT
“Fashion Summer” by Alexandra A. really interested me because I, too, will be going to a fashion school in the fall. Though I am not attending FIT, Alexandra and I share the same passion.

Give a Little
by Lindsey D., No. Platte, NE
Reading Erica N.’s story about realizing how good it made her feel to help those who really appreciated her assistance, I thought about all the times I’ve ignored an opportunity to work at a soup kitchen or a food pantry.

Loving That Art
by Emily W., Gibsonia, PA
I always go straight to the Art Gallery section in the magazine. I love to see the art and photos that people create. I love to paint, draw and sketch, so it’s obvious why I enjoy this section. Plus, I find other teens’ talent very inspiring.

Meninism
by Melisa E., New City, NY
Although I am very much a feminist, I agree wholeheartedly with AJ C. It is very hypocritical for women to have notions about “the perfect man” or “a real man” while staunchly protesting the idea of a typical woman.

No Respect
by Ty B., No. Platte, NE
I really enjoyed reading “No Respect.” I go to a Catholic school so I don’t really know what it is like having people tell you that you didn’t play well in a game. We get respect whether we win or lose.

Teen Expression
by Arrington C., Willingboro, NJ
I think it is a wonderful idea that Teen Ink allows teens to express themselves in a teen magazine. I just recently found out about it from a girl in my honors English class who submitted an article.

Teen Life
by Sammy F., Englewood, CO
I like reading Teen Ink but my school, which is a private religious one, is very conventional. Anything the least bit edgy is out. The crazy part is that many of the people who go here are doing the same things other teens are, but are hiding it.

Thank You
by Patrick B., Hockessin, DE
Teen Ink, I want to thank you for publishing a magazine where regular kids get to voice their thoughts or share a story they have been dying to tell. It’s not often that teens get to share their opinion, we usually just sit back and let the adults do it.

Think Before You Act
by Justin P., Dell Rapids, SD
I was angry when I read this article. The author says that new drivers are too young and not responsible enough to drive. That is just not true. I am a new driver and so are most of my friends.

Your Funeral
by Mitchell K., Garrettsville, OH
Laurie R., I just read your feedback letter in the December issue. You have my sympathies over the recent death of your father. I can relate because I lost my mother to cancer in November. She meant more to me than the world.
