My 13 year old daughter wants to write a regular column in the Public Health Alert newspaper for Kids/Teens.

She wants to include topics such as:

What it is like to have chronically ill parents...questions kids may ask.

How kids/teens deal with their own chronic illnesses

How illness has effected my family

She also wants to explore health issues that are common with teenagers such as :
Anorexia, bulemia, "cutting" or self-injury, depression, anger management, being bullied, etc...

So if you could help me spread this information to all the Lyme communities, and other chronic illness forums with families that would have kids/teens that would be interested in submitting questions or article suggestions, i would appreciate it!

Have kids/teens send questions to [email protected] and put JUST ASK LAURA in the subject field.

This is just in the beginning stages and Laura would like to hear from other kids/teens about what they would like to see in a column especially geared to their interests.

Thanks,
Dawn Irons, Editor

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL OTHER FORUMS SO WE CAN GET GREATER PARTICIPATION FROM OUR KIDS!

That is very cool. I sent an e-mail on what to write about.

I will be sure to get the word out as much as possible! It is great that your daughter wants to do this! The Best of Luck!!
