The Platypus!

Welcome to The Platypus!
The Platypus is brought to you by TLC: Teen Leadership Council of Mountain Resource Center. The Platypus is designed to be an uncensored avenue of expression for youth. This is a place to find out what many young adults today are thinking about: what exites and angers them, what they really talk about, and what issues they face day to day. So,open up your mind and take a look at what’s important to us. Each issue we feature a topic that we find interesting. You’ll also be able to find creative work like art, poetry, and stories.
Issues:
The Next Issue!
The WINTER, 2007 issue of The Platypus is just around the corner. Some of
you may want to put something into this issue, or may want to pass this
email along to others who might want to submit.
Submissions are due to glo_grl@yahoo.com by January 21, 2007. Art
submissions are due to the PACT box in the CHS main office by the same
timeline. Please type your submission (with a title and by-line)into a WORD
document and send it as an attachment by the deadline. See the topic
information below.
“Influences on your LIFE” is our upcoming topic, and submissions
might revolve around one of the thoughts below:
• Your life as a teenager and what influences you.
• What affects your personal choices about your future: like going to
college or not, how you got to the place you’re “at” now, what paths you
could take
• What life is/what life means - does it matter? What makes you wake
up in the morning and want to get up out of bed and face the day? What does
it mean to live a fulfilling life?
• People and how they affect your life
• Where are WE taking society and how does that influence us?
• What influences your to conform to others’ expectations vs. living
the life you WANT to live
