Internet Safety for Kids!

We at Stories for Children Magazine have put together some fun links, information for young writers, and so much more for your fun and enjoyment, but we also want to touch on a few safety tips when it comes to the internet.  

There are sites out there that are fun and safe for children, but you still need to be careful not to download, share, and give out personal information such as:

• Your full name
• Home address
• Home or cell phone numbers
• The name of the school you attend
• Names of teams you play on
• Friends or sibling names
• The city you live in or street name
• Don't share your email address with people you don't know. (That means anyone you met over the internet because you don't really know them!)
• Never agree to meet anyone you met over the internet anywhere
• Always get your parent/guardian's permission to register for anything over the internet (such as contest, wekbsites, etc.)
• Only chat in a chat room that your parent/guardian has monitored and approved
• If someone says something you don't like, tell your parent/guardian immediately
• Never download files without permission of an adult
• And never give any credit card or bank information out without adult supervision

The Writing Life for Kids and Teens

You don't have to wait until you’re done with school to write stories and see them published. There are many magazines out there that publish stories and articles by kids and teens. Some only publish what kids and teens have written. Below is a list of links to magazines to send your writing.

Cicada stories and poems are written by outstanding adult authors and by teens themselves, who offer their own unique perspective. After all, who knows what matters to teens better than they do? One of the magazine’s highlights is a section for readers’ responses to the important questions raised in previous issues. CICADA also sponsors "The Slam," an online writing forum for young writers who want the world to see what they can do with words. Ages: 14 and up.

 Creative Kids   Creative Kids magazine is the nation’s largest magazine by and for kids. The magazine bursts with games, stories, and opinions all by and for kids ages 8–14. 

Frodo's Notebook Frodo's Notebook is always looking for well-crafted poems, creative essays, and short stories by teens age 13-19 from all around the world. 

New Moon New Moon Magazine is for every girl who wants her voice heard and her dreams taken seriously, and for every adult who cares about girls.  For ages 8 to 14. 

Skipping Stones  Now in its eighteenth year, Skipping Stones publishes bimonthly during the school year. We accept art and original writings in every language and from all ages.
