Dear Luna,

I'm new to the magazine, and I just read your "Coming of Age" issue (January/February 2008). In my family, all of the girls have themed parties at ages 13, 14, or 15. My party was last year, and my theme was books (since I love to read!). All of my aunts and some of my cousins gave me books that have a girl as the main character.

Also, my friend and I are creating a magazine about inner beauty. It promotes self-confidence, and discourages diets. Our belief is that everyone is beautiful, and that no one should feel bad about how they look or what they weigh.

I get really annoyed with photos of models and celebrities who are stick-thin. I was looking at a magazine cover that had the headline, "Stop calling me fat!" Underneath that, it said, "Celebrity fights back." But the picture of the female celebrity didn't look fat at all!

Elizabeth, 14
