Youth-oriented & person-oriented

The first impression is the best impression. I recently held TTT for the first time in my hands and as I read the magazine it impressed me very much. It is youth-oriented and above all, person-oriented. I enjoyed reading Soul Strings, Spreading The Fragrance Of Kindness (Editorial), Don’t Let Your Crush Crush You and The Ubuntu Way of Life. It’s a clarion call for me and for all of us for self-transformation. I would certainly encourage others also to read TTT.

Every issue of The Teenager Today improves our general knowledge. I especially love to read DYK, Hobby Lobby, Your Health, as well as Photo Pik and Poets & Poetry which are wonderful. The quotations in Soul Strings are very motivational and inspirational. I feel refreshed after reading each issue.

Combines learning and leisure

The Teenager Today combines learning and leisure in a creative presentation. Verus Ferreira’s interview with Carolina Norbu, the passionate singer and songwriter from Arunachal, gives us a unique look into the world of music in youth. I was mind-blown when I learned how she takes inspiration from reading and daily experiences. Many thanks to TTT for motivating me.
