Teen writers from LA, New York and ThreeSixty examine the challenges of staying in school

By ThreeSixty, LA Youth and Youth Communications

Inspired by President Obama’s challenge to teens – “dropping out is no longer an option” – ThreeSixty collaborates this month with youth journalism programs in Los Angeles and New York to examine that challenge from multiple perspectives.

Teens write about dropping out of school and returning. About aiming high and achieving. About schools that failed them and schools that saved them. About testing mania and good jobs that don’t require four years of college.

The special project is sponsored by Best Buy, which is hosting all the content on at15.com over the coming month, along with discussion boards where you can talk to teens from across the nation about these issues and your own experience.
