This summer, young writers from all over the world joined The Journal Bootcamp to learn about current events, write creatively, and get published! Students worked closely with their dedicated coaches each week to edit and refine their writing, until it was worthy of a feature in an online magazine.
I’ve been to many places since I was little, Italy, France, Spain, Australia etc. But my favourite place out of all of them is England.
Disney’s original series “Lilo and Stitch" has a new live action movie, featuring Maia Kealoha as Lilo and Chris Sanders as Stitch, and has many different reviews from everyone around the world. The live action is based off of Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, and it talks about the unlikely friendship between Lilo, a young, free-spirited Hawaiian girl, and Stitch, an evil, smart alien creature. I recently just watched it, and I feel like the live action could’ve done better, rating it a 3 stars out of 5.

She is making noodles for herself. The water bubbles and boils like the laugh of a child and the
thick udon noodles swirl slightly in the pot. She portions out a generous chunk of the stew, making sure to pick out the sharp bony pieces. The smell of chili oil and tender beef fills the tiny apartment, wrapping
around her like a familiar embrace.
The forest took her, small and thin. A shadow lost in bark and skin. No name was whispered on the breeze. Just echoes tangled in the trees.

called biofluorescence and is when a fish can absorb light and release it, causing the fish itself

A study showed that giving 10-year-olds screen time does not increase their risk of becoming suicidal later on, but it is actually those that become addicted to their phone that have a higher risk.
A study released in June 2025 by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine shows that teens in the U.S. who show addictive behaviors towards phones and social media are more likely to struggle with suicidal thoughts—raising concerns about how these things are really affecting kids.
