We're back!
We hope you're as excited as we are to keep working on Teen She Spot.
Since we're in the midst of a heated election right now, it's the perfect time to talk about one of the stories we're working on for our site.
Even though many teens aren't old enough to vote, they're definitely making sure their voices are heard.
Teens are raising money, making calls, and even working the polls.
Now more than ever, teens are involved in the political process, and they are making a difference. Teens may not be able to vote, but that's not keeping them away!
The group Teens for Obama has made almost 6,000 calls and raised $120,000 for Barack Obama.
A group of teens supporting John McCain started an online petition to show their support for McCain. Check out the petition and sign it here.
The Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative hosted a teen debate-watching party in Teen Second Life, and teens weighed in via tweets about the candidates and the issues in this year's election. Check out their tweet stream here.
The Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative is planning to host another debate party on October 15 for the final presidential debate. Check back here after the final debate to see the tweet streams from that viewing party.
Comment below to tell us who you're supporting and why. We'd love to hear from you!
