Doesn't anybody like to read about normal teenagers anymore?

I mean books that are written truthfully about the way teenagers behave, talk, and act when adults aren't around. Kind of like those movies Cruel Intentions, or American Pie. Basically, not sugar coated and unrealistic behavior that's just not true.Doesn't anybody like to read about normal teenagers anymore?
are you trying to say cruel intentions and american pie ARE the way teenagers act? right. those are as unrealistic as everything else. try Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.Doesn't anybody like to read about normal teenagers anymore?
Those kind of behavior are not normal nor realistic. And that's not really suited for teenagers.
What about Catcher in the rye? now THAT'S literature and how a teenager actually behaves





I would rather die than living in a world were people actually behaves like American Pie characters
So , you think ';American Pie '; is about normal teenagers...well , that's your problem...
If those movies were books, I would rather gouge my eyes out then read them. You call that good literature? If you want real behavior get out and find some bratty teenagers. Go in the teen lit section of the bookstore and you'll find a whole bunch of books with spoiled girls and loads of foul talk. Frankly, I would rather read about some bizarre fantasy (if it kept me interested and had good plot) than real life, annoying, rude teenagers because I read to go into a different world, not one I can expose myself to if I wanted to.
Well, not to seem cruel towards the idea... but it's been done to death. Just the fact that you can name multiple major Hollywood films that encapsulate this idea shows that it's played out. There are books about teenage behavior... but they're written for that particular audience and may not seem realistic.
try reading chernowitz by fran arrick. it's about how ppl pick on this kid cuz he's Jewish and its a real story and its perfect for teens
I think that a lot of people read books in order to exercise their imagination and may thus want a more fictional book in order to picture themselves in that situation. Another reason, that I think is very prominent, is that many of the books with teenager characters are written by adults who think they are writing truthfully but in reality are exaggerating stereotypes. The average teenager would probably not be the most interesting protagonist. 5 days a week going to school does not move the plot very far.
