YWP is helpful

YWP is something that has helped me a lot
in several different aspects of my life.
It's helped me find a place with people
who are like me.
Being in 8th grade is weird enough but,
having a mind like mine,
it's hard to fit in but here, I do.
It's helped me find a place
where I can let out all of my thoughts
without being judged. 
In fact, it's encouraged here
People that don't even know me,
enjoy my writing more than my peers at school do
I really feel like I belong here, 
which is amazing and new to me.

    Dana1357, this is what YWP is all about! A place where you can let out all of your thoughts without being judged. And -- my favorite line in this piece -- "In fact, it's encouraged here." Yes it is. We're so happy that you feel you belong here. Because you do. Keep writing!
