Discussions On Youth Quotes & Sayings

Writing is a concentrated form of thinking ... a young writer sees that with words he can place himself more clearly into the world.

Kids discuss what they see on TV, social media, film so I want to create content that they will discuss and will change the way they think. — Jamie Hector
