Readers,
I hurts me to read so many people, so many teens, especially LGBT youth, who are taking their lives because of bullies or not feeling acceptance from their own family. I’ve create an “It Gets Better” page, written my own “It Gets Better” response and posted several videos from people instilling the message that “It Gets Better”. Check it out and visit The Trevor Project for more information about suicide prevention for LGBT youth.
It Gets Better

Its been three years since I started this blog. I didn’t expect to receive as much comments as I have, especially on the Gay Bash lyrics post and the post about Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw website (and how some people wrote on here to her). Thank you to anyone who has viewed my site and decided to voice their opinions on my posts.

Ash Magazine is not over, I’ve just decided to take a break, but in 2010, I will begin to update my blog with posts on music, pop culture, politics, etc.
Wishing you a very succesful New Year

To Ash Magazine Readers,
I currently have a huge case of writer’s block, so I haven’t been able to write anything. If you have any tips for getting over writers block email me, ashmagazine@gmail.com
For now, youtube videos , a few health and lifestyle posts (I deactivated my blog on today.com ) and current news on pop culture will be the norm.
