Teen Ink Magazine, December 2007 : Feedback Articles

Bittersweet by Lucas D., Monticello, IL I thought that Brittany H. did an excellent job writing “Bittersweet.” Appearing in the September issue, it is the story of Brittany’s older brother leaving for college. It describes her feelings at that time and her feelings a year later. Continue...	Climate Change and SUVs by William S., Edgartown, MA I thought “Climate Change and SUVs” was a powerful piece. It was very thought-provoking, making me contemplate what I could do to help stop global warming. Yiren L. illustrated the American way of life very well. Continue...
Disappointment by Melissa H., Boise, ID The poem by Kiersten L. titled “Disappointment” is about America and all the distractions we create that aren’t necessary. All of our obsessions make America look lazy and attention-seeking. We are, literally, a disappointment to previous generations. Continue...

Like a Cigarette? by Dan H., Oak Bluffs, MA I completely agree with Grant K. opinion about smoking. I really don’t understand why kids accept cigarette offers; it makes you, your breath, and the environment smell bad. I understand how it feels to lose someone to smoking. Continue...	Political Humor by Jim S., Owings Mills, MD I must respectfully disagree with “Political Humor: Not a Laughing Matter.” In it, Allison S. claims that talk shows like “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” perpetuate political ignorance. Continue...
Sweet Perfection by Amanda S., Mogadore, OH “Sweet Perfection” by Christina M., is about her struggle with anorexia and her recovery. I like this article the most of all the pieces in the October issue because eating disorders are a problem I’ve had to deal with too. Continue...	Teen Ink by Wendy C., Avondale, AZ Teen Ink is a magazine that gives teens a chance to express themselves. When I read this superb magazine I can easily identify with the work of students. It brings into perspective the diverse situations teens undergo daily. Continue...
Vegetarianism by Erica B., Wethersfield, CT I think that it is great that Vicki V. wrote this unique article about vegetarianism. I have been a vegetarian for three years and I can completely relate. Continue...
