Welcome To Our Blog
Hi guys! This page is under construction — in essence, it is a place where any teen, regardless of whether they’re a member of Under the Iceberg, can share their story or experiences with an Invisible Illness. Email under.the.iceberg.teens@gmail.com with your submission of 200-350 words, your name, and your grade or age. If you email an unrelated submission, you won’t receive a response, so serious submissions only, please.
Related submissions can include, but are not limited to: your experience with a condition that falls under the umbrella term of ‘invisible illnesses’; a piece regarding your thoughts on invisible illnesses more broadly; a relatable experience you believe will be helpful to read for others in this community; one thing you wish people understood about your illness; advice for others with (your) invisible illness(es); and many more. Your piece can be a first draft — expect that editing will likely be a necessary stage.
A NOTE ABOUT ANONYMITY: While we do prefer to include the author’s name for our stories, we understand that not everyone is comfortable sharing publicly. If you want to post your piece anonymously, or with only your first name, please let us know why in your email. We review these requests on a case-by-case basis to ensure our blog is a safe space for everyone.
