I like that it's a magazine that's written by teens. So, because the writers are teens, they know what other teens want to read, which keeps the magazine very fresh.
Writing the career profile for the May Issue of Youthink was my first "real" assignment, and it felt great to see my writing on paper. Some benefits of this magazine in the classroom is that it gives students more opportunity's to write, if that's what they're passionate about. It opens up a lot of doors for students who love to write. Last year, our English teacher gave us an assignment, but he also introduced Youthink to us as well. He told the class that he might pick the best student essay, and submit it to Youthink. That is actually how I found out about Youthink.
Other students and even my friends like Youthink for the same reason as I do. It's written by youth, so teens read what they want to read! Another cool thing is that you get to see how talented many teenagers are when it comes to writing. Many things I've read have shocked me as to how well they are written!
