Faze
http://www.fazeteen.com/main.htm
This site is a personal favorite. Each issue of this news magazine written and edited by teens covers science, business, entertainment, world events, and much more, all geared towards teens interested in more than the typical prom-diet-fashion advice. Creative teens are invited to submit articles, stories, and poems to the site.
Teen Ink
This online e-zine lets you chat with other young writers and meet other students with similar interests.
Kidderlit.com
Every morning, while you're fast asleep, this site posts the first line of a book-without the author's name or book title, but with a link to Amazon.com, so curious viewers can click to see the source of the quote. This site is worth a look and a bookmark, and it will lead readers to books they might never have considered. Best of all, it's a great place to enjoy the simple pleasure of reading while discovering the impact just a few well chosen words can have on an audience.
