so...my name is Rebecca and I'm 17, going to be a senior in high school . i am currently at either the 2nd or 3rd spot in my class academically, but plan to graduate as valedictorian...so if you have a problem academically I'd love to help! i want to be a journalist (and kind of am), which means i may be a little harsh, but i do have a not-so-sharp edge (don't get me wrong, i can be sassy, I'd just rather smile :) ) . I love knowing that i can help someone and I'm actually of use to someone. When i was younger i was more shy, and all people knew about me was that i was a good friend and for the people i answer...i hope you think so too!
Also, God is big in my life. Like my whole life. And for anything I help you with...I give Him all the glory. It's all about Him and what He's given us. :)

16/f I'm a writer it's what I do it's who I am. I've been so sick of reading the cliche teen books out there and I want another opinion. Recently there has been this idea in my head for a story after I threw away this novel that I bought and realized it was just like every other girl-meets-boys-falls-in-love-and-defies-all-odds/saves the world. I would like to ask anyone who would help me out: What is something that you've been rolling your eyes about and wish would change in the current teen stories that you see on about 20 bookshelves at Borders. I want to break the mold and if I have to ask every teenager out there what they want, I will.
Thanks,

first of all i admire that you're a writer that's awesome, so am i. but i just wish some young adult authors would mix it up a bit. every other book on the shelves at Borders is about either an outcast or a prep school/ boarding school student, with the same typical "cliques" and the end being a guy and a girl realizing how perfect they are for eachother. i mean, seriously those aren't the only poeple in the world to model characters after and that isn't the only basis of a story. and if it is, there could be twists and turns to make things a bit more intersting. i mean, don't get me wrong, that's a great story! but when you read it a dozen times it gets old. why don't you ask around and find out what's up with peoples' lives, what is going on ohter than falling in love and what people can relate to. don't write anything that you aren't inspired to, but maybe you'll find a muse! I just want to read something different, real, and interesting. good luck with the novel.
