Watch Comcast Newsmakers to see Judy Macaluso, the Teen Services Coordinator from Ocean County Library (NJ), talk about the success of Teen Health & Wellness in her library. Through our unique Personal Story Project,
twelve students at The Shelton School (Dallas, TX) have published
essays on Teen Health & Wellness. Working together, Library
Coordinator Kathy Fester and English Teacher Melissa Harrison ran a
program in which students submitted essays on topics ranging from
divorce to adoption to dating abuse. In addition to becoming published
authors on the site, teen writers also received certificates of
achievement and gift cards in recognition of their achievements.
"I
am definitely planning to do this submission process to [Teen Health
& Wellness] every semester from now on. It's a perfect exercise for
my college writing students! And they LOVE saying they are published
writers," says Harrison.
Use Harrison's lesson plan to organize a writing program for your teens. Or have them submit their stories directly to our site. 
In a recent homepage poll, Teen Health & Wellness asked teens: Do "cash for grades" programs where students get paid for good gradesreally work?
The majority of teens say: Yes. Almost two-thirds (62%) claim these programs work, while about one-third (37%) said they do not.
