Xpress, the Coolest Section of the St. Petersburg Times, is the home for features, news and views of interest to young readers. Most of the work in Xpress, which appears on Mondays in Floridian, is produced by the Times' X-Team. The team of journalists ages 9-17 from around the Tampa Bay area is selected every year at the end of the school year to serve during the following school term. The current team of 12 was chosen out of 150 applicants. Watch for X-Team application forms in Xpress during the month of May.

I am an addict
No, I am not in an Alcoholic Anonymous group, and this is not a confession. This is a reality and the truth. I know it, and so do my friends. What makes me an addict? I like to drink and do drugs. I use drugs and alcohol excessively almost everytime I am with those friends. I have passed out more than once. I have friends who have ended up in the hospital unconscious and passed out in their own vomit.
