Dear Teen Ink,

I love your magazine so much, because it is made up of stories that teens wrote. I like it because we can show everyone that we can do much more than they think we can do. We are not just lazy video game playing teens, but passionate and hardworking writers and artists. We can show that we are not as vulnerable as we may seem, and that we can do more than what is expected of us. We just need a place to express ourselves. Teen Ink is that place, it's a place where we can show off what we can do, who we are and what has made us who we are. Teen Ink is the perfect place to do all this. We can write stories and then other kids can read our stories and understand how we feel, and can connect with us. Thank you Teen Ink for creating a safe environment where kids can express who they are and show what they are capable of.

Sincerely,
Megan S.
