Feeling
DIFFERENT?
Sometimes, food allergies can make a normal life difficult. We may have to do things that teenagers our age don't have to do; such as spreading awareness of our food allergies to restaurants, friends, or family. Though having food allergies can be a struggle, it can also be our strength.
​
Our allergies grant us empowerment.
​
They allow us to be a part of something that not a lot of people are in: a loving, supportive community filled with people who know what you are going through. Be proud of your differences, they are what make you special!

TESTIMONIALS
“TEEN FAAB IS AN OUTSTANDING RESOURCE. TEEN FOUNDER, KAT INSPIRED YOUNG (AND OLDER) WITH RECIPES, ANTI-BULLYING DISCUSSIONS, INSPIRATIONAL STORIES FROM OTHER TEENS, AND MORE. A MUST VISIT"
GWEN SMITH / EDITOR OF ALLERGIC LIVING MAGAZINE
"BULLIES ARE TYPICALLY INDIVIDUALS THAT PROJECT THEIR OWN INSECURITIES OUTWARDS ONTO OTHERS USING INTIMIDATION AND EVEN VIOLENCE. TEEN FAAB IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR FOOD ALLERGY EDUCATION AND IS BECOMING A GREAT OUTLET FOR SUPPORT. HAVING A FOOD ALLERGY IS NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE SHOULD EVER FEEL INSECURE ABOUT AND I THINK TEEN FAAB IS A GREAT OUTLET FOR PEOPLE WITH OR WITHOUT FOOD ALLERGIES. I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING TEEN FAAB GROW!
JORDAN PIERSON / WINK FROZEN DESSERTS
"TEEN FAAB IS A WEBSITE CREATED BY A TEENAGER WITH FOOD ALLERGIES PROVIDING INFORMATION AND RESOURCES FOR OTHER TEENS ON FOOD ALLERGIES AND BULLYING. IT HAS VERY VALUABLE INFORMATION AND I AM ALWAYS INSPIRED BY YOUNG ADULTS WHO ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES AND OTHERS"
