As usual, we start with last month's Snarl about being an outsider--

^^^

"Nicole's Snarl of the Month touched me. I too was one of those lonely freaks. I hope this piece comforts many of us who feel so alone, but aren't--witness NrrdGrrl, the place where geeks/freaks have a home!"

^^^

"NICOLE'S STORY WAS SO COMPLETELY HONEST, IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES--MAYBE BECAUSE PEOPLE I KNOW ARE TREATED LIKE THAT, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE SMARTER OR DRESS DIFFERENTLY, AND I'M ONLY IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE TEASING STARTS YOUNG. AND IF WE DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO STOP IT, WHO WILL?"

^^^

"The snarl of the month was true to life. So much abuse goes unnoticed or uncared about in the schools. The author was right on the money with her article. I have seen things very similar to this happen. In fact, I was often ridiculed because I was intelligent, didn't dress the "right" way, and spoke up to fellow classmates about it.

And the rest...

"this zine is wicked good!it is one of the few zines that are realistic.keep 'em coming!"

^^^

"Just a quick noise to say that I enjoyed the march '97 Grrowl. It was a complete accident that left me beached, dazed and confused, on the "Nrrdgrrl" page. It was a strange, jarring, witty read; quite a change from the norm. Oh, yes, and I admit it, I'm not a grrrl of any description, but I just liked the content okay? (I hereby claim the right to own my own fangs...)"

^^^

"Hey there, I love this 'zine. The first essay in this issue really grabbed my attention. This is exactly how I feel sometimes. I am only sad that I was not the one to express these feelings. They stay bottled inside me way too much of the time. I see the truth in it being that as a whole women spend enormous amounts of time and energy trying to make themselves into what their boyfriends or just friends want them to be, and they spend no time just being themselves. In fact, this whole issue seems to echo that sentiment. But it is true and I applaud all the contributers for saying it loud and clear."

^^^

"Please keep up the wonderful articles."

^^^

"dig the writing...want to see more...very impressed with 'different'...so glad the grrls are getting out there loud and proud....and supportive...."
