I'm writing to you on behalf of my son who is 15 years old. He wrote a wonderful poem and now realizes that he is being scammed. He now knows that this "company" is only after his money. We (his parents) were not aware he was sending this in and will do what we can to keep him from giving up what I believe is a talent that comes from the heartache he has experienced in the past.
How long will they continue to get away with this bull crap? Today he opened a letter from International Society of Poets. He was so excited when he thought he was going to Disney World. Then he saw the "only a small fee is required to hold a spot open for you".
Don't these people know that teens have been known to take their lives over disappointment? Now I have the job of trying to make my son understand that he still writes very nice poetry and to not give up. Because unfortunately he has an ego that is very, very, shaky.
