It's A Very Diverse and Interesting Magazine

It's a very diverse and interesting magazine that lets teens get inspired to experiment with journalism and the types of writing they are most interested in and that they will excel in.

Youthink was the starting point of my experiences with journalism. It has helped me not only explore what the magazine has to offer, but also the different ways that I can branch out with my writing. I think that my whole experience with Youthink was very positive because I started off just writing a few poems in grade 8 and then got more opportunities such as movie reviews, interviews, more serious articles and the Youth Editorial Board. I sort of grew alongside the magazine and watched not only my writing become stronger, but the ways that a magazine changes as it becomes more known. All in all a very rewarding experience that would be a great jump start to any student who is looking for a career in print journalism.

When students see that other people in their school are getting their writing published, they often want to give it a shot as well. Many students wouldn't be aware of this magazine if it wasn't provided in their schools/classrooms. In my experiences the magazine was mostly used as a way to point out and recognize students that got their writing published, or as a silent reading activity.

Students like the fact that issues they are currently facing are often addressed in Youthink, and sometimes even solutions are presented. There is something for everyone, whether it be entertainment, art, movie and music reviews or even interviews with celebrities... the wide range of topics draws in all sorts of people with different interests.
