H ey! Welcome to Issue #3! If you dont already know us from Issues #1 and #2, were Jon Doe & Jayne Doe (no relation, just good friends). We represent people like you who want to be heard LOUD & CLEAR.

In Issue #1, we made some new friends and got the guy or girl to notice us (hopefully). Then, in Issue #2, we threw an awesome party (or went to one)and everybody got home all in one piece. Whew! Now its time to talk about that thing that seems to take up most of our time. School! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Its not that bad. Really. In fact, you might even think school is cool. (Well, at least its got all the letters for cool.)

*Welcome to Our World

They (whoever they are) came up with the idea of school to prepare us for the future (a big ol F), but its the present we gotta get through to get there. School can be fun, scary, exciting, boring, hard, easyyou name it. School can be just about anything to different people. And different parts of it can make us feel a bunch of different ways. Whats it to you?

Lots of people had lots to say for this issue. And, of course, weve got our own stuff to say. Whatever. We just hope this issue helps all of us make it through our school daze academically, socially, and physically. So, lets do it....

The 7F World

We live in a world of 7Fsfriends, fun, fights, family, feelings, fashion, and flirting. Its probably a lot like your world. We have concerns about the future (another F!) and about getting by in school (no F for that) and in social situations. Its not always easy, and sometimes its really tough. But we all seem to get thru it somehow.

We want to know what youand people like youhave to say. Sharing our feelings on different subjects can help us make sense of this 7F world.

Be Heard. Be Yourself.
