Reply:Not all teens hate reading. I loved to read as a teenager, and I read mysteries, classics, etc. Just write what you think you know about.
Reply:well i dont know how many teens would relate to it, but how about a book about a girl forced to go to a private school that sucks (very poorly kpet) and sees this guy, they fall in love, and..... you go from there
Reply:You say "teens only", but all adults were teens once and lived to tell about it! You think they don't remember what issues they faced then that are still around to plague modern teens and that they might have something to share?





Bad teachers and administrators and coaches? Pressure to do better than you can? Stepparents? Everything to do with sex, including peer pressure and boyfriend/girlfriend pressure and being gay or lesbian and self-image, etc.





Btw, to be a writer, you have to write. That sounds obvious, but it means writing something, anything, every single day. Short pieces, long pieces, fiction, essays, poems, rants, letters, etc. Best wishes, and good luck!
