Rejection MAG
Everyone has experienced rejection. Inevitably, some of it is deserved and some of it cannot be prevented. Can you imagine how thick Teen Ink would be if they published everything teenagers sent in? Although being published in this magazine is not a contest, I believe it is comparable to one. If you enter a contest, do you get mad at the person in charge if you don’t win?
I have never been published in Teen Ink, and although I think it would be cool, I don’t blame the editors for my not getting in.
