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!
