Young Adults

In the Spring of 2005, two students at Person High School in North Carolina committed suicide. Everyone around the community wanted to do something about it, but no one was sure exactly how to do it. Many of the students of the school wanted to create plaques, draw, and have a full memorial for the two students. This is when I stepped up to the challenge and said, "Why don't we create something long term, to prevent this from ever happening again?"
I looked up valuable information from the American Foundation for Suicide prevention, as well as local records.

To a certain extent, there is a hierarchy in the publishing world between literary magazines and the book publishing industry. Writers are expected to first seek publication of short stories before they “progress” to publishing a novel. At the same time, however, there are few opportunities for young adult writers to publish their work; there are few literary magazines that actively seek new writers and even fewer that seek young writers.
