An incredible honour to be featured in your magazine

I’m writing to express my gratitude for publishing my response to the happiness questionnaire in your March 2023 issue. It was an incredible honour to be featured in your magazine, and I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts on happiness. I have been a fan of The Teenager Today for quite some time, and I enjoy reading the informative and engaging content that you publish for teenagers. Therefore, I would like to subscribe to your magazine.

TTT should find a place in every home that has a teenager

I found out about The Teenager Today only a year ago, and immediately subscribed to this wonderful magazine. In the April 2023 issue, the article Prabhat Koli: World’s Youngest Oceans Seven Swimmer by B. B. Nayak was inspirational to read. Thanks to TTT for featuring on its cover such a youngster, who is bringing laurels to India. I have recommended TTT to my friends as I feel it should find a place in every home that has a teenager.

It’s unlike other teen magazines

I love the concept of this youth magazine. Every issue of The Teenager Today is a treasure. I have saved a few special issues and they are my prized possessions. It’s unlike other teen magazines that are filled with glamorous and often useless stuff. The Teenager Today, on the other hand, has the perfect balance of values, education, general knowledge and entertainment. Soul Strings, Careers with Dr Vibha, Teen Space, Sports and Wired are a few of my favourite columns.

My friends sometimes borrow TTT to read

I’m in love with The Teenager Today! Whenever I receive it at my school, I get totally excited to read it. My friends sometimes borrow it to read. I make sure to get it back from them soon, as I don’t like being apart from TTT for too long! The articles Invest In Our Planet by J. Prasant and Swimming With The Orcas by Vijay Luiz in the April 2023 issue were very interesting to read.

I feel so much better after reading TTT

I never thought a magazine would turn out to be my best friend! Whenever I am down in the dumps, I pick up one of the issues and I feel so much better after reading it. TTT is really helping me grow through these weird teenage years. I love you, TTT!

I’m already a fan!

It’s only four months since I’ve subscribed to The Teenager Today, but I’m already a fan! Exam Stress & Anxiety: What You Can Do About It by Dr Avinash De Sousa in the March 2023 issue really helped me a lot. The advice given by Alisha Lalljee in Point to Ponder in Dear Youth Counsellor has helped me deal with various situations. I also like to read DYK, Sci-Tech, Mind Games and Global Icons.

Just fantastic!

The April 2023 issue was just fantastic! I loved trying out the recipes in Teens Can Cook! They are easy-to-understand and just right for those learning to cook and bake. I also enjoyed reading 5 Books Every Teenager Should Read by Dr Resham Satyani, and I have added them to my reading list.
