TEEN SCENE
Welcome to Teen Scene. Each month our
young authors write, in their own voice, stories
that will educate and inform fellow students and
parents. If you are a teen who would like to write
your story, contact The Journal. We’ll help you
polish it up, so don’t worry, let’s get to sharing.
This month’s author is 15-year-old Kelly
Malone, of Little Silver, a ninth grader at
Academy of Allied Health and Sciences.
This April, Kelly was awarded an honorable
mention for her submission to the Teen Voices
contest in the Asbury Park Press. The topic was
the quarantine we are all enduring together.
Today’s busy families have moved from days
full of rushing from activity to activity to
spending day after day with one another.
Families have been seemingly thrown
back in time, learning how to spend days,
weeks and months together. Kelly candidly
describes what this new lifestyle feels
like for a 15-year-old who has gone from
classrooms and socializing with friends to
seeing her immediate family only. Here is Kelly’s story.
