How to be a Teen Writer Without Making Me Want to Punch You in the Face

This is a fun and interesting article written from the perspective of a teen writer constantly fighting against the stigma that teens can't write, or that what they have to say is unimportant. I realize we have a lot of teens on the site, and I don't think (and the author agrees with me) that your age should be an excuse. You have the potential to write great things. Here are just a few things to help you on your journey!

Oh! I will definitley look into this. But I don't think it would apply to me anyway because I am at the age of 18 soon. :( still alot of other users can benefit from this. And I agree; your age shouldn't be based on how well you can write.

Sinpoder: Where can I find a mentor?
Sinpoder: or is that Sia?
Nick: Sia is more of a palpatine than a mentor
Valkier:
Sia's the opposite, they know the system better than any of us but then ignores it to try do/allow whatever regardless 😛
Hayate:
Your intention doesn't matter if your action creates pain

Half a kayak, large enough to fit one person bent-over or crossed-legged.
Siatupid:
There is peace in being trash.
Wright:
calling people pussies, bitches or whatever and threatening to hurt people makes you very much less than a man and much like a young boy
Onu:
You intentionally handicapping yourself is not a reason to change the system.
Onu:
It is not the mods job to build ideas for you, its our job to make them systematically acceptable. If there is a core concept to it that isn't acceptable, there is nothing any mod can say that will magically make it work.

And part of why I scooped him is cus I wanted to make him a Toukai and people told me they thought it was a bad idea :/
so now Ryoga is a constant reminder to always do what I WANT to do, not what others think I should do

saigen is like the dysfunctional family you choose to be part of
Methtastic:
Crazy how elaborate the system is for a group of people who only finish a fight a tenth of the time after 2 months of arguing over 3 seconds of combat

If you want to speed up the process you can just talk to one of the other staff members about it.

I think the concepts can apply to anyone, not just teens. I don't think you should ever use age or even experience as an excuse to remain in mediocrity.
