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.

Fitting in
I want so badly to fit into the "in" group. I look around and try to figure out how everyone I like got into that group, and I feel left out. Could I be in and not know it? I see other kids looking at me as if I am part of that group. It is "the" group to be in if you are anybody. So, am I in or not? This seems like a crazy question, but for some reason I keep asking it. Why do others look at me as if I am in when I am not sure that I am?
