This is the end of one of the comments that was left for Skye, one of the students in my class, on a post that she wrote after her mom came back from having Gamma knife surgery to remove a brain tumor.
She received a number of comments last time when she posted about her mom going out that she said were a great help to her. She needed to know that people were listening and that someone was listening.
This is one of the great things about blogging with teenagers. Being a teenager is hell. We all know. We all remember it. But with a blog, you can be in a small town or a large city and no matter what your interests are; be they the geekiest hobby that sets you on the margins of your place or something more mainstream, blogging gives them a chance to find a connection with people somewhere around the world.
Keep writing. We’re listening.
This is an important message that teens need to know.
