Surf over to Dear Teen Me where my letter to my teenage self went live earlier today.
Dear Teen Me is a project aimed at teens in which young adult authors tell their personal stories about growing up. Some of the stories are funny. Some are harrowing and painful. The common thread is that they’re told from the heart, and the goal is to bring teens diverse points of view.
This was one of my favorite pieces to write, but I was surprised by how emotional it was to do it. My teen years had their awesome moments, and I had a lot of support from family and friends. But to write something that would have been helpful to me back then took going back to some delicate places in my life. Check it out and let me know what you think!
