How Long Submissions Take to be Approved
It seems that when you submit something, it takes weeks, perhaps even months for it to be approved. Everything is always published on the website, is it not? Has anyone ever received a letter saying your article was not approved and will never will be? I don't think so. Why not just post everything up right away so we no longer have to wait and wait to see our work up online.

Actually it is. No one takes responsibility for their work anymore. They act like because they don't take the time to double check their work and then they're embarressed by it, that it's Teen Ink's fault. It's not.
Take pride in your own work and take the time to make it your best. Don't blame others when you don't care enough to write your own work correctly.
That has nothing to do with it, thank you very much. I'm talking about how long it took even BEFORE I got published.
And btw you're calling me a liar too, so how's that different? And I never said you were a liar. The majority of the people I've talked to have agreed with me.
And this whole article is scaring potential authors away from pursuing their dreams because it may "take too long". So, you're going to give up on your dreams because it may take a long time? That's the American way I guess. Right now, or not at all.
And with my first comment, I was clarifying because I've been yelled at before for that mistake. So, apparently you're wrong about everyone making the distiction. I wasn't be mean or even crass, just making a statement. Sorry that I didn't want others to be bashed for the same mistake.
And you can comment back if you'd like, but I won't. You're being nit-picky about everything which just makes you sound like a snob. So, bye.
