Wow, I applaud you. You do an excellent job creating a magazine everyone can relate to. I personally enjoy the poetry and nonfiction, but all the articles serve a purpose.

To me Teen Ink is like a big diary where teens can write down their thoughts, feelings, and emotions and share their experiences. I think this is important because a lot of teens, especially guys, see diaries as something for sissies. What they don’t realize is that writing is a good way to express themselves. As I read Teen Ink, I do find articles written by guys. In the article “Saving Dad,” a boy’s dad had breast cancer, and he talked about his emotions during that time.

In conclusion, thank you, Teen Ink, for creating a big “Macho Diary.”
