On the scale of "pop stars teens like that their parents have heard of," Ed Sheeran probably ranks somewhere in between Justin Bieber and Austin Mahone. And the 22-year-old's powerful but honey-coated voice and softhearted lyrics aren't all that dissimilar from theirs, either.

But unlike Bieber, Cody...

Hey HuffPost Teen readers!

As you may or may not know, The Huffington Post has launched a new iPhone app called "GPS For The Soul." I'm writing this post because I think it's perfect for you guys and I want to encourage you to give it a try....

Bullying is a hard subject for people of any age to read about. We are deeply moved and disturbed by stories about children who are in emotional or physical danger -- and when we realize that the Amanda Todds and Jamey Rodemeyers of the world look...

This month, HuffPost Books is teaming up with our Teen editors to read John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. You can follow our conversations and leave your own thoughts on our discussion page.

To start off the reading, Andrew, our Books editor and Liz, from our Teen...

I've finally reached my breaking point. LEAVE BRITNEY TAYLOR ALONE.

To give you some background, it seems that people are especially mad at T Swizzle this month. They are upset with her for many reasons, like ostensibly being asexual, having an out-of-control interest in...

When I was home for the holidays this week, I found this plastic sheet in my box of most cherished high school momentos. Highlights include: What to do if you get "smack-dabbed" and how to fold your Joey stand-up in half properly. The goal? To win a backstage pass that...

This blog is co-written by my sister, Sara Perle. The Force runs strong in my family.

By now, every self-respecting fan has heard the big news (Disney bought Lucasfilm for 4.05 billion and, more importantly, announced a new live-action Star Wars film slated for...

Eventually, 3D printing could eliminate mass-market manufacturing. This is a fairly obvious statement for the "maker" community, but for those of us who are not as familiar with the technology, this is a pretty bold idea to chew on.

However, when you think about it, we already do...

I attended a panel at the Women's Forum Global Meeting this afternoon, which was meant to answer the question: "How do we deal with stereotypes of women in the media?" The conversation, however, quickly shifted its focus to a more frightening and urgent question: "Where are all the...

Apparently, 80% of Gen Y-ers across the world are dissatisfied (or only somewhat satisfied) with the current balance between public and private in the corporate world. Are you surprised?

This statistic comes from a recent study conducted by Mazars, an international consulting firm, and

There are dragons in "Game of Thrones."

For anyone who asks me why I think it's the best show on TV right now, that will always be my first answer. Dragons. Done. It wins.

Fantasy lovers, like me, have been waiting for mainstream networks to bestow a show...

What I wouldn't have given to have been a fly on the wall when they cast The Hunger Games. The way I'd like to picture it in my mind is Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins sitting at a table, Gary saying, "So, Jennifer Lawrence?" and Suzanne saying, "Well, duh."

Apparently,...

At HuffPost, we're kicking off an exciting new project and we'd love you to participate! It's called "The Moment I Knew," and is a user-submitted video series where readers tell the stories of life-changing moments they have experienced. Each section of HuffPost has chosen a different theme -- and here...

Notice anything different about us today? HuffPost High School has officially been renamed HuffPost Teen!

We put a lot of thought into our name, and we decided that this new moniker better highlights our mission: to be the go-to platform for you guys to talk about the issues that...

Jackie Emerson isn't your typical teenage fangirl. Sure, she's been obsessed with The Hunger Games since long before she had to read the book for her high school English class, and when director Gary Ross interviewed her for his proposal to direct The Hunger Games, she thought to herself, "What...

This bullying really has to stop.

Before you get started on your next "It Gets Better" video, let me just add: I'm not talking about teen bullying. I'm talking about the dangerous narratives adults are writing about bullying in our schools, which are, in turn, influencing the legislation meant...

Welcome to HuffPost High School, a new site devoted to teens and the issues that matter to you -- whether you're a Gleek, geek, cheerleader, jock, YouTube star, all of the above, or anything in between.

HuffPost High School is your space to be opinionated, and in that spirit we've...

This is like that moment when someone intones, in half-seriousness, "Luke, I am your father!" and the words, "You know, Vader doesn't actually say that in The Empire Strikes Back..." fly out of my mouth, despite my very best efforts to hold them in. It's not (just) that I'm pedantic...

Last week, the American Medical Association officially denounced Photoshop (and other image manipulation programs), stating that its use is bad for your health.

They explain: "Such alterations can contribute to unrealistic expectations of appropriate body image -- especially among impressionable children and adolescents, according to a...

Being really frakkin' geeky is in - Stan Lee is responsible for approximately half of the summer blockbusters this year (again), Glee is at Comic Con, and The Big Bang Theory a) exists and b) won a Golden Globe. Also? Game of Thrones.

I don't have...
