Their journal entries show just how hard it can be being a teen or a young adult -- they also show some of the joy too. For example: ~o~ Chaz's Journal "I still haven't figured out her [Becca's] reaction. I mean, I thought she said she just wanted to be friends. She did say that when I asked her to the dance. So what is the deal here?" ~o~ Is Becca playing games with Chaz? What do you make of this? Becca's Journal "Chaz is hardly talking to me. All right, well, I'm not exactly talking to him either. This is a total and complete mess!" ~o~ How is Dee handling that problem with Juan? From Dee's Journal "I told him, 'If you go beat up Juan then it becomes a guy thing. You know, these two guys fighting over their property or something. This isn't about you, Miguel. This is about me. It's a girl thing... and this girl can take care of herself.'" ~o~ So what is Miguel doing about it? Ahhhh! That would be telling!!! Find out for yourself at The InSite -- and you can send them your advice! Visit the site for The Story listed below and email any one of them (or all of them!) about what you would do in their shoes.

Don't forget to check out the Transcripts section of The InSite's web site. This is a growing collection of transcripts from previous conferences. This week there are four new transcripts from conferences that took place in November and December, as well as our Transcript of the Week, which was recorded on Wednesday 14th of January, 1998. * * *Our Feature Transcript* * * "Joline: An Income of her Own is an organization that encourages teen women to look at how they make an income, not just take an income. 90% of all women will be completely responsible for their own economic issues at some point in their lives. Joline: At An Income of Her Own we help them prepare, so that creating an income of your own is seen as sexy, fun, and empowering! We try to help you figure out how to make a job, Not just take one!" Check out the transcripts section of The InSite this week for an important transcript -- Joline Godfrey from An Income of Her Own discusses the vital work that her organization is doing for women who seek financial independence. Visit the AIOHO web site (links are available in the transcript) -- you can subscribe to the AIOHO newsletters, find out about Camp Start Up, chat to one of the women entrepreneurs who have benefited from involvement with AIOHO, or have your teen business linked to the site. There are lots of other interesting links as well -- visit the site, and benefit from AIOHO's vision of financial independence for women form 15 to 60! ************************************************************************* Conference Updates ************************************************************************* As well as Joline's conference, there are a number of other conferences in #TheInSite that I attended this week and that I would highly recommend. ClemaTIS runs an excellent conference on Friday Nights at 5:30 PM PT entitled "You and Your Parents." The format is relaxed, with conference participants being encouraged to contribute their opinions and solutions to ClemaTIS's thought provoking questions. On Wednesday night at 5:00PM PT: Spaceship Earth. Last Wednesday was really Spaceship material. Our guest was BrendaF from the Fels Planetarium, and her conference on astronomy was excellent. Not to forget the other great conferences that we have in #TheInSite. If there is one comment that we hear about our conferences, it is this- "It's great to find a room where people discuss relevant issues!" ************************************************************************* Getting to Know The InSite Web site ************************************************************************* Want to display some of your computer art, but don't know how to go about it? The InSite has a section that allows you to display your computer art! In "The Gallery," budding artists can display their works to the world. If you have computer generated art that you would like to have included on this page, please email me CCCorinth@Talkcity.com for details about format and uploading of graphic files. We would love to see your work! ************************************************************************* Bits And Pieces ************************************************************************* Hiya folks.... Have an idea for a conference that you think would be relevant to The InSite? We are always interested in what you the subscriber consider to be important issues that should be discussed. We want to hear from you. If you have any ideas that might be useful for conference material -- or for a series of ongoing conferences, please let me know. Send mail to CCCorinth@Talkcity.com with your suggestions -- or complaints. We want you to feel that your input is valued -- because it is! Also -- don't forget -- We try to have #TheInSite and #TheInSite2 staffed as much as possible -- we aim to provide a safe, pleasant environment for our chatters that is free of harassment, bad behavior and bad language. Unfortunately, staffing these rooms 24 hours a day, 7 days a week just isn't possible at the moment. So if you have any problems with the behavior of other people in the channels, feel free to contact the CSA (Community Standards Advisors). Type: /msg CSA Help! then when the CSA replies, state what room you are in and the nature of the problem *~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* That's it for this edition. Do your friends a favor -- tell them about The InSite and #TheInSite. The next edition of "OuttaSight!" will be posted on 2/02/98, and an archive copy of "OuttaSight!" vol2 no2 will soon be available from The InSite home page:
