HelpingTeens online magazine, now named the "HTChronic" (short for "HT Chronicals"), is a consecutive magazine full of articles, artwork, poems... all from people like you and me.




Do you wanna tell your story? Share your views? Express yourself?

The whole point in this magazine is to let other people know they're not alone and that someone else is dealing or has dealt with what you have. Or to just be creative.


A new magazine issue needs your articles, poems, artwork...
Submissions will be taken starting: July 20th.
Deadline: July 30th.

We need your submissions, so submit away!

You can submit artwork, poems, articles by PMing me. =)

Happiness in a teen
Written by Lindsay (LMG)
According to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, The definition of Happiness is, 1 a: obsolete: good fortune: PROSPERITY 2 a : a state of well-being and contentment : JOY b : a pleasurable or satisfying experience. But why would Obsolete be included in the definition? To be obsolete would translate into being worthless, unusable, replaceable, etc. How exactly can “contentment” and “obsolete” be connected? They clearly clash, one meaning satisfied, another meaning, in a sense, needing to be filled into a satisfactory state.

Why would obsolete be in the definition? Because they consider that definition to be obsolete.

Ok, perhaps idiot was too harsh.

But seriously, when I read that, I knew I didn't even have to bother reading any of the other articles. No offense meant, but that just made me laugh my ass off. You cannot expect me to take a writer, which doesn't even understand the concept of an 'obsolete definition', serious. So how can I take their writing serious then? Reading a transcript from a Weebl & Bob episode would be a better way of spending my time :')
