The Cliché Teen was founded in 2019 by a local Cliché Teen. The journal is a bi-annual online literary journal displaying selected pieces of work by young writers and artists from the ages of 13 to 19. The Cliché Teen Journal's goal is to break the cliché teen stereotype that many teens despise being labeled under. It is composed of teens who embrace their originality and aim to reach their highest potential. The Cliché Teen Journal accepts a broad range of work consisting of mostly fiction, poetry, prose, personal essays, art, photography and many other pieces of work. In addition to issues, the CTJ releases weekly interviews with teens of different passions, ranging from musicians to activists to drag queens. Welcome to the CTJ Community!
