I actually like to learn languages too like German and I'm thinking about learning Turkish. The reason is my uncle actually recently visited turkey and other places, although turkey was his favorite and he even made friends there.

Hello, my name is Tuğra Göksu. I’m 13 years old and I live in Manisa, Türkiye. I have two older sisters, and some of my favorite things to do include playing football and basketball. I also really enjoy creating and developing websites — it’s one of the things I’m most passionate about.

Along with my friend Yusufcan Önalan, I co-created a technology platform called Axonaria.

You can visit it at axonaria.com.

Axonaria is a modern technology ecosystem designed to help students develop digital skills and work on real projects. We built it because we believe young people should be able to adapt to the fast-changing future and learn how to create, not just consume.

Our main projects include:

BotForge: A platform that lets anyone create a Discord bot without any coding.

NitroLauncher: A tool that helps improve computer performance, especially for students who play games or use heavy applications.

We started Axonaria to inspire other young people like us to explore technology, learn new skills, and build their own ideas. I hope you’ll check out our website and see what we’re working on.

1188074 — 2026-01-07 16:41:15 UTC

My favorite novel is "The Outsiders" by S.E Hinton. I like this book because it shows a lot about friendship, and also gives you an idea about social issues. It is a story about a group of boys who come across many issues, and one of them commits a bad crime.

Alaina

1160243_1 — 2026-01-07 16:41:24 UTC

My favorite novel is the Wings of Fire series. There is a bunch of novels back to back; there are around 18-20 books in the series. The detail in the book is insane; it is like I get to actually be in the book and look around. After each novel, there is a graphic novel that has incredible detail in the pictures. Graphic novels are still coming out, but so far, there are probably ten graphic novels that have been released. The series is about dragons, and there are five main dragons whose story gets told in the first five books, and then we get introduced to new main characters after the first five books. The cool thing about the other books is that all of them end up leading to the original five characters.

The Outsiders

1164224 — 2026-01-07 16:41:25 UTC

The Outsiders is a coming of age novel about loss, friendship, and finding shared humanity.

1161392_1 — 2026-01-07 16:41:37 UTC

I like the book Twilight because its not as corny as the movies. Twilight is about a girl moving to a small rainy town and the town she lives in has strange rivalries and secrets.

I believe that this book is one of the greatest ones out there because it is full of action suspense and more. You turn every page with an exciting thrill of wanting to know what comes next. The Maze Runner is a series that contains nine total books with all the sequels and prequels. I'm on the 2nd and personally I think that the first book is the best.

My favorite book is called "My Favorite Pet, Chinchillas." It's about what they are, where they live, what they eat, how they play, and how to take care of them. I have 7 chinchillas myself, and I love anything and everything about chinchillas.

My best vacation spot was in America in the state called South Carolina. I went to a place in South Carolina called Myrtle Beach. I went been to Myrtle Beach for a tournament for baseball. The weather is very nice and warm, but some says were rainy and gloomy. The place I stayed at was near a beach which was very nice because we could just go swimming whenever we wanted. This is my best vacation in my opinion because I got to be there with my family and teammates and we got to hang out a lot.

I've been to Mexico many times and as long as you go to the right places, it can be one of the most memorable trips you make and very fun. There are so many things you can do and see and in general just a great vacation spot in the right areas. My favorite area to visit is Cancun, it's wonderful and some of my family lives there.

Ubaid

1161779 — 2026-01-26 15:26:43 UTC

I believe that the best vacation spot is a place where there are beaches and mountains. If you are someone who like the outdoors and hiking then the best vacation spot would be Arizona or Tennessee in the smoky mountains. If you like beaches than it would probably be somewhere in Florida like Miami. While there are so many more places I could describe, my personal favorite is a vacation in Arizona or Nevada. I really enjoy hiking, sand dune climbing, and actual rock climbing. I remember my favorite rock climbing hike to do in Arizona was called Bell Rock. It wasn't dangerous but it also wasn't a walk in the park either, you had to maneuver your way over certain rock pieces and other you could just walk up. In other words, the best vacation spot would be in Arizona by the mountain ranges.

my favorite vacation spot- Aiden H

I like listening to a lot of music, usually deep or just exciting and even Latin American, but recently for some reason i've been listening to older songs. Mostly European;old and new and definitely accordion songs since I can play those. Some of the songs are from world wars like WW1 and WW2 and national anthems but really anywhere around that time, I like history. I cannot say my favorite song due to school restrictions probably so i'll say amor by Emmanual Cortes which is ironically a more modern song and has accordion. (sorry for writing so much)

Hi, I'm Neslihan, I'm 14 years old. This is actually a series, but there's also a book version. It's science fiction, telekinesis (the ability to move and bend things with your mind), and a very nice series filled with mystery and adventure as a result of various events in Hawkins town. The best part is season 3. .You won't regret it, I'm sure you'll love it ;)

Hello, I'm Neslihan. I'm sure all countries, including Turkey, are beautiful as holiday destinations, but South Korea and the city of Seoul have very comfortable and beautiful accommodations. I haven't been there before, but I have some information about Korea because it caught my attention in this regard.:)

Actually, I’m not into novels much. I’m into books like mangas. I dunno why but novels gets me bored at some points and I lose all my interests in them. So yeah, if I have to say something, I’m choosing One Piece manga. I know it’s not a novel. But still, I have to put something.

Yiğit Ege and Germany

2026-05-17 17:18:27 UTC

Okay. First of all, I have so many choices in my head. Italy, France, Germany… But I dunno why Germany has the first spot in my head. And if I have to choose a city, it’s either Berlin, Hamburg or Munich.

Yiğit Ege

2026-05-17 17:21:42 UTC

So… about music, I ususally listen loud music and such. But to be honest, Let it Happen by Tame Impala has a special spot while being not loud as others. I don’t know, it just feels relaxing to listen it. Hope you like that song too!

Hi pyhllis! Thank you so much for your lovely message. I’m so glad you like Turkey! It would be amazing to meet up if you come here for a vacation. I’d love to tell you more about my country and hear about yours too. I hope you have a wonderful school year as well.

Italy is one of my preferred destinations for vacation. Because Italy is a country that captivates with its historical buildings, extraordinary cuisine, and natural beauty. Rome, in particular, with its historical artifacts and ancient structures, gives you the feeling of traveling back in time. Also, the canals and gondola tours in Venice are quite romantic and impressive.

Another reason I choose Italy is its cuisine. Tasting world-famous delicacies like pizza, pasta, and ice cream in its original setting would be an unforgettable experience for me.
