Welcome to the Maiden Issue of Hiya The Magazine!

At Hiya, we're passionate about empowering teens. We believe with the right tools, they can revolutionize the world. Our core mission revolves around mental health awareness and suicide prevention. We’re here for all things self-care, resilience, and seeking healthy coping methods. Everyone deserves a supportive friend.

Teen mental health is pressing, yet often sidelined. One in five teens grapple with diagnosable mental health conditions, leading to challenges like depression and anxiety. Alarmingly, suicide ranks as the fourth primary cause of death for those aged 15-29. Beyond statistics, this impacts lifelong physical and mental well-being.

As a 16-year-old Nebraskan, I’ve had my own rollercoaster of emotions from panic attacks to test anxieties. Adolescence intensified these struggles with family issues, peer dynamics, and societal pressures. However, supportive avenues helped me harness this pain. I built an online boutique that initiated the "Hiya Hope Bracelet" collection. With each sale, another teen receives a bracelet, reassuring them they're not isolated.

Now I’m collaborating with Lozafina to create a teen lifestyle magazine - one that uplifts and motivates. This publication speaks to anyone who's felt solitude or questioned their capability.

Dive in, draw motivation, and remember: every page symbolizes our joint leap toward a world where everyone, regardless of age or gender, embraces 'I can.'
