Teen Issues

Hello there, I’m Francis and I’m a high school friend of both Shannon’s and Anna’s. Just like my co-authors, I’m also a college student who’s always enjoyed writing. Ever since I can remember, writing has always been a way of life for me. It has always been a way of expressing my feelings and emotions, especially when my mouth can’t get the words out at times.  There are moments when I’m not very verbal with my feelings and writing about it, helps ne deal with it. Writing has always become very easy for me and it’s proved to be very helpful because it’s helped get me out of very dark places. These dark places were caused by my depression. Wait a second… did she just say depression? Yes, yes I did.

I’ve been diagnosed with chronic depression ever since I was sixteen. I mention this because after a lot of topic ideas running through my head I’ve decided to write about something that I’m passionate about, besides writing, which would be teen issues. I’d like to write about issues that concern today’s youth and would like to offer any guidance that I can.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my short post and I hope you guys will continue reading our work and leave positive criticism so that we may improve.
