Teen Ink
in the News
People are talking ... about Teen Ink! Everyone from The New York Times,
Teacher magazine and Skechers to the latest teen websites knows and raves
about Teen Ink, the nation's oldest and largest magazine written by teens for
teens.
The Boston Globe

Magazine gives teens with views a place to express them
You won't find the latest teen idol on the cover of this teen magazine.
There's no article inside doling out advice on how to find a homeroom
heartthrob or tips on looking cool for school. Instead, the magazine
deals with such serious issues as peer pressure, body image,
self-esteem, and racial discrimination. Sound too weighty for teenagers?
Think again.

All the Views Fit to Print
When I first heard
about Teen Ink, a nationally distributed, general-interest magazine that features
writing by teenagers, I was intrigued but also a bit suspicious.
On the
one hand, the idea behind Teen Ink was exciting. On the other hand, I'd been
burned too many times, encouraging my students to submit to publications ...

The times change, and so does advice
I think that if I had

12, I would not have been allowed to read it.
A book subtitled 101 Stories
of Changes, Choices and Growing Up for Kids Ages 9-13, with sections on
family, love, death and dying, would have been snatched out of my hands with the
comment, "You might get the wrong ideas from a book like this.''

"It's for teenagers, by teenagers. Now, having said that, there are
impressions already forming in your mind. It's unavoidable. Some of you

[Teen Ink is] entirely dependent on submissions from young readers

The News Scene According to Teens
"[Teen Ink is a] lively magazine that gives teens a place to
express themselves. [It] reverberates with modern-day teen concerns.
While teachers are often the the magazine's stauchest adult supporters,
Teen Ink has many adult fans outside of the high school classroom
as well."

Window on teen world
"In a world where teenagers are often viewed as troubled, suicidal,
uninformed or apathetic, the talents of young people are often
overlooked. [Teen Ink's] philosophy is simple: Give teenagers -
all teenagers no matter what their social status or academic record in
school - a non-judgmental forum for their work and space to talk to each
other. As a result, adults, as well as other teenagers, will listen. A
glance at ... a recent issue shows that the topics are anything but
trivial. They are vibrant and thoughtful."
The Patriot Ledger
May 28, 1993
Journal gives teenagers a forum for speaking out, reaching out
"If you think teenagers care only about themselves and about
rejecting authority, think again ... For many teens, The 21st Century
(now Teen Ink) is a unique outlet ... The editors provide plenty
of opportunity for teens with diverse backgrounds and abilities to
express creativity, explore experiences and share their views ... Rather
than accept only work that reflects the highest talent, the editors look
for pieces whose thought and poignancy will appeal to other students.
They publish articles that reflect a wide range of writing ability,
because they want to encourage all students to see themselves as
potential contributors. Despite the editors' acceptance of a range of
writing talent, the quality throughout is quite high. Many pieces are
moving, thought-provoking and vividly written."
KLIATT
January, 1993
A Publication Community for Teens
"As writing goes, so goes reading. Kids who don't read the daily
newspaper or much of anything else do pick up a copy of The 21st Century
(now Teen Ink) and find that it speaks to their interests and
concerns. One important ingredient in that appeal - to the writers as
well as the readers - is the scope of the readership. Teens are struck
by the fact that authors come from towns they haven't even heard of.
Geography gives a weight and importance to the communication process.
Boston Herald

Special Magazine Needs a Few Pennies for Kids' Thoughts
"The 21st Century (now Teen Ink) is ... an introspective and
reflective compilation of essays, stories, letters, poems, reviews,
photos and cartoons written and captured by teenagers. This stuff is
good. These kids can write. They can take pictures. They're aware. They
think. They worry. They care ... They have a forum for their thoughts.
An important forum. A magazine specifically for and about them."
