As a United States Senator and as a father of two teenagers, I know how much young people have to give if we will only take the time to listen. Reading Teen Ink has made me and others realize the ideas and values of teens. I was struck by the honesty of the writing in this work. This is a truly valuable book for every teenager. And for every parent.
Teen Ink provides a great platform for serious teen writers to express their unique perspective.
This book is an adventure that takes you through the minds, hearts and souls of teens who are brave enough to share their beliefs and experiences. Not only is much of it astonishly good from a craft point of view, but it gives teenagers voice. In a culture where adolescents are often ignored or treated as second-class citizens, Teen Ink gives them a place to say loud and clear who they are. Teen Ink is amazing. Finally a place that lets teens share their stories with other teens.
