Every year we choose four teens to write for us during the school year, and we follow them as they encounter the ups and downs of high school. Each issue, one of them will be featured in the magazine, but they'll also be blogging about their different experiences here all year, so check back often to see how their year stacks up against yours.

Here are the writers for the 2009-2010 school year!
