Witness & Participant: Capturing Youth with Teen Photographer Nico Young
For more on Nico’s photography, follow @nicobyoung on Instagram.
Nico Young (@nicobyoung) wants the world to understand that teenage photographers are a force to be reckoned with. He should know: The 17-year-old had his work published on the cover of The New York Times Magazine — teasing to a 12-page spread inside. “I just want other teens to understand how valuable their perspective is,” says the native Californian. “Young people can be so creative.” Nico has been photographing his friends since the point-and-shoot days, but landed this assignment when a teacher shared his work with the Times.
“Young photographers are in a special position because no adult can capture teenage life with the same intimacy and honesty that a teenager can,” says Nico. “I am not just a witness to the actions in the photos; I am a participant. I am in the images.” Nico plans on preserving his time capsule of teenagehood as long as possible: “I feel a lot of pressure to capture it all before I’m not a kid anymore. I want to appreciate it while it lasts.”

Little reminders for the struggling self
By Ariadne Arambulo | 2 min. read
Hi, friends! I know most of us are going back to school this week *cries*, and we might need that extra push to get through this, so here are a few things we could keep in mind:
Forgive yourself
Failed a couple of tests? Watched a whole season of your favorite TV show over the weekend instead of getting started on your research paper? (yes) Found your grades drifting into uncharted waters? No matter what happened last semester, forgive yourself. Make it your armor and remember that you have a clean slate in front of you. You get to start over. Take that chance and do things right this time.
Set realistic goals
And every time you accomplish them, treat yo self . Go ahead. You deserve it.
Show up
I know it’s inevitable to have those “meh” days when you’re physically present but mentally absent in class. Drink coffee, go on a short walk, or listen to your favorite music before coming to class to boost your energy. It also feels good to learn something new every day, so make the effort to get even just a little something out of those long class hours. It’s worth it.
Work hard
Do things that are meaningful to you and remind yourself of your dreams and aspirations. You got this!
Take care of yourself
During finals week last semester, my mantra was “pain is temporary, GPA is forever”. This pushed me to go through three full days without sleep, studying endlessly and not giving my mind and body the rest they deserved. It took me a fever, colds, a sore throat and recurring anxiety attacks to realize that that was pretty much their many ways of saying, “Giiirl you take care of your grades more than yourself.” Shake off those bad habits and make sure you invest time in yourself. Don’t wait for your body to send you spiraling into a dark abyss before you take action!

The“pointy S” symbol, frequently found in the notebooks of grade school students throughout the world, is of uncertain origin. From band logos to Superman, there is little information yet on the exact birthplace of the symbol.

This spring was supposed to be an exciting time for Xander Christou. He’s a senior in high school in Austin, Texas, and was looking forward to all the fun: prom, senior skip day and of course, graduation.
But all that’s now out the window. “There’s a sense that it’s incomplete,” says Christou. The school district has closed until April 3rd and Christou says he has this feeling that a unique chapter in his life — senior year — is slipping away. “They’re just parts that we may never get to experience.” One big disruption: any attempt at making plans for next year. “We’re in the midst of college decisions,” he says, and the coronavirus has “really thrown a wrench into a number of things.”
Christou spent most of last fall like many high school seniors: researching and applying to schools. He planned to spend the spring visiting some of the campuses he was accepted to. “Online, the colleges are just names and logos and programs,” he says, “nothing will compare to actually being on campus and speaking face-to-face with current students.”
