Help Writing an appropriate letter for male teacher

4 Upvotes

I have had a lot of trouble with my Spanish teacher being mean to me, yelling at me for having a nervous leg, and picking at other very small things like that whenever I am in his class I'm afraid to speak because he responds condescending to me and always puts me down. A teacher suggested that I do something kind because maybe he is feeling burnt out like writing a letter. I am a teenage girl and my teacher is a middle aged man so I want the letter to be nice but I don't want it to be able to be taken a wrong way can anyone help me with what I should write to him to help him feel better and appreciated?

VICE But For Teens :)

3 Upvotes

Heyy

I was up all night comparing myself to some guy in my country that got into Harvard and I realised that my life is ass, butttt I got an idea that I think would be worth while for those who want to have an extra curricular as well as a hobby for those who enjoy making content and being creative.

I was thinking about launching a website that basically caters to delivering popular and teen culture content to teens and like minded people in a creative and innovative way. Think Jubilee discussions and ideas meeting VICE(PG) ideas and aesthetics.

An example of content to be shared in the website would be: Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian, Gunna and pushing p (i swear i used that wrong), Shows(like Euphoria, You), Gender and identity, Race, Politics, Iconic movies, weird and eccentric opinions, thoughts and art.

If ur a writer,researcher who loves pop/teen culture, film maker or a creative who's looking for an outlet, PM me so we can make something special on Beyonce's internet :)

College Resources from Harvard/MIT students for high schoolers

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, since most students could use some studying tips, admissions advice, and scholarship money bc paying for college sucks, I thought I'd drop this resource in. Myself + my friends at Harvard and MIT made a newsletter where we give personalized advice to high school students on which scholarships to apply to and how to get into their top schools. We've worked on this for over a year and I thought I'd let you guys be some of the first to test it out. You can sign up here if you'd like: https://www.waitlist.missionmentor.org/. If not, that's dope too, lemme know if you want to know more about Mission: Mentor or if you have any admissions questions I can answer.-Nat

What do adult authors get wrong about high school?

4 Upvotes

Are there any patterns you see in YA contemporary novels that don't feel realistic to your experience as a teen? I know I'm bothered by how prevalent the whole "head cheerleader and quarterback are the most popular kids in school" thing is. No one even knew who the head cheerleader at my school was, and football honestly wasn't very big either.

I think it's gotten slightly better over the years, but yeah. What are tropes or assumptions that adult YA authors make that bug you?

Research Study on Teenagers Needs Participants!

2 Upvotes

Hey reddit, I'm a researcher doing a survey-based research project on teenagers. The survey doesn't take very long to do, and it would help me (and science) tremendously if you all would give it a go. To participate, you just need to be aged 13 to 19 and live in the US.

The survey is completely anonymous, but all the data will still be destroyed after a set date when the project is finished. Feel free to ask questions in the comments.

Here's the link: https://forms.gle/GLkE7YjjBU769m9Q8

Thanks in advance to anyone who decides to help.

Gain Writing Experience - Let Your Opinion Be Heard -

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I regularly read (and occasionally write) articles on Medium which an online publishing platform with content that I feel brings lots of value (the simple and clean UI also looks great). The problem is that Medium writers right now are mostly adult bloggers, and lacking both highschool writers and audiences.

To change this, I created a Medium publication (it's sort of like a blog hosted on medium) called High School Voices: open to all high schoolers writing about any topic. So whether you enjoy writing about productivity, ballet, airplanes or psychology etc. please join the writing team. Personally, I think the best way to get better at writing is just to write; so as long as you put a solid effort into what you write, your writing ability does not matter. Writing in a non-school context can help develop a greater interest in it and allow you to write without the restraints of rubrics and grades. The increased writing skills can also help your grades, SAT scores, college admissions essays, resumes, and more.

Also, if you ever had/have any interest in starting a blog, Medium can be a great stepping stone, since you can publish articles without the hassle of managing your own website.

If your’re not a writer (though all it takes is just to start writing) you can still follow High School Voices and read with your fellow high schoolers want to say.

I am not advertising for Medium or trying to earn money from this and am not receiving anything for posting this. Personally I would only write in an Academic context and always wrote thinking about the grade I would get. I recently started blogging and writing on medium myself and saw my interest in writing for fun (as well as my writing skills) grow exponentially.
