Welcome to Naked Truth: A magazine created by teens, for teens.

This issue of Naked Truth shares how young people can express in their own voices, advocate for change, and the importance of taking action now more than ever. The issue shares a roadmap to community engagement as well as lessons from peers who share their journeys and the issues that matter to them.

In this issue of Naked Truth, we will explore what comprehensive education looks like and what influences accessibility to reliable information, particularly for marginalized individuals. Socioeconomic status, geographic location, and disability are just some of the factors that greatly influence what kind of information young people receive and how this affects how they are treated in education spaces.

This issue centers on the relationship young people have between our bodies and identities which are fundamentally connected. Young people from across the state share articles, poetry, and artwork showing their experiences with gender identity, body image, disability, beauty standards and more. 

In this second issue, young people explore relationship dynamics and openly share their experiences with different forms of relationships. We have also included educational information, resources for support, and interactive activities to help young people navigate healthy relationships, boundaries, and consent.  

In this first issue, young people openly express how both pandemics – COVID-19 and systemic racism – have impacted them and their communities.
