MEDIA WATCH:
Have you ever been bullied because of the clothes you wear? Do you feel like you need to wear expensive clothing or certain name brands to be popular or noticed? Are you afraid to go to school because you are teased about the clothes you wear? Why do you think fashion companies are marketing expensive items to teens? Teen Voices wants to know your stories. Send your submissions to
mediawatch@teenvoices.com.
SPECIAL FEATURE:
Do you spend countless time, energy, and money trying to reach perfection? Do you feel pressured to look, dress, and even smell like the perfect girl?
Do you see the connection between consumerism and perfectionism? What do you think about advertisers that make you feel bad about yourself
just so you'll buy their product? Do you feel the burden of this pressure or do you fight against it? We want to hear from you!
Write to us at family@teenvoices.com.
SPECIAL FEATURE:
Teen Voices is doing a feature about the topic of sex trafficking and we are looking for first-person experiences by teen girls who have been lured into
having sex for money and being "sold" from one person to another. This is a very sensitive topic and we will, of course, respect your right to anonymity for publication.
If you would like to write about this please email us at
special1@teenvoices.com.
SPECIAL FEATURE:
We are looking for submissions on the topic of loss and disaster, not natural disasters but human tragedies like school shootings and neighborhood violence. Poems or personal essays would be great. Write to us at abovebeyond@teenvoices.com.
SAY WHAT?!:
Have you seen an ad lately that has made you feel degraded as a teen girl? We're always looking for examples of ads that piss you off or offend you just for being a girl or woman and we want to know what you have to say about them! Contact us at saywhat@teenvoices.com and tell us what you've seen.
FOOD CORNER:
Are you a Persian teen girl who is proud of your heritage and food culture? We are planning an article about Persian food and would be interested in hearing about your experience. What makes Persian food so important to you? What do you like most about it and why? Contact us at foodcorner@teenvoices.com.
SMALL WORLD:
We are planning an article about Argentina and would like to contact teens who are from Argentina and live there now. Would you like to describe everyday life in your country to other teens? Tell us about your school, family, culture, government, or anything else you want other teens to know about. Write to us at smallworld@teenvoices.com.
HEALTH:
Have you ever had a panic or anxiety attack that you would like to share with our readers? We are looking for personal experience essays, poems, stories, or art about the topic of anxiety and panic. Let other teens know what you've experienced and how you dealt with it. E-mail us at health@teenvoices.com.
SPECIAL FEATURE:
Have you or someone you know been a victim of sexual harassment while at work? If so, what was your experience? Did your harassment come from your boss or your co-workers? How did it make you feel? Did you tell anyone? Tell Teen Voices your story and send it to specialfeature2@TeenVoices.com and get your voice heard!
WE ARE FAMILY:
Do you have someone in your family who is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT)?
Has someone in your family celebrated a same-sex marriage or commitment ceremony?
Or are you a teen who identifies as GLBT and have issues with your family because of it?
We'd like to do an article about family relationships involving GLBT family members.
Email your submissions to family@TeenVoices.com.
ACTIVISTS: Are you fighting with your school board or trying to get someone elected in your town or city? Are you circulating
a petition, demonstrating in DC or boycotting a multinational corporation? Tell Teen Voices all
the whys and hows of being a teen activist on the go. You might be our next Activist-of-the-Month.
ARTISTS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS: Are you one of those artistic teens who loves to draw or shoot photographs? Do you paint or draw or make cartoons?
Want to get your artwork published in a national magazine? Email TeenVoices@TeenVoices.com
and let us know what kind of artwork you like doing and we'll sign
you up for an assignment.
