Could you tell your life story in 6 words?

“Everyone has a story. Can you tell yours in six words?”
That’s the question posed by Smith Magazine on their website:
http://www.smithteens.com/sixwords/
They can be funny, sad, shocking, wistful…anything, really. You name it.
Some of the examples posted are:
Dating others to get over you. – Eliza_Shevitz
Every story begins with “that boy…” – readwriteknit
Sounds like the way banana tastes – mhenry
Everything needs recharging, phone, iPod, me. – happy_nel

We just ordered the new book, I Can’t Keep My Own Secrets: Six-word Memoirs by Teens Famous & Obscure which collects almost six-word memoirs. The editors of the collection found that some of the most poignant entries were coming from teens-and so this newest collection is entirely by and for those smart, sassy, and angst-filled truth tellers.
If you’d like to try your hand at writing your mini-memoir, go to the website and submit!
