Teen Questions

I'm working on a young adult series. Even though I live with a teenager, I need different points of view from different types of teens and different parts of the country.

I would appreciate as many answers as possible, but if you don't feel comfortable answering something, please don't.

Thanks ahead of time for any time and effort put towards this. I greatly appreciate it.
