Some of the ideas I have for my essay are as follows:
Can adults write authentic teenage voices?
Finding a role model
Fear of the teenager
The differences between how real teens write and how former teens write
The quest in teen novels
I am not sure which one I want to do, but I am thinking on it still. I have a few ideas for each, but I am probably leaning more towards the role model, writing teenage voices dor the differences. Maybe the quest. Not sure...

I think the idea of adults using teenage voices would be a great topic. There is a lot of support out there to back up your thesis. Red is a good example of teenage voices, but since they were only short essays, I would find an entire novel by a teenager. Also, you could find atrocious adult others who are incapable of writing as teenagers, yet continue to produce novels. Another idea would be a discussion on how the adult voice as a teenager has changed over time. You can ask yourself, “Do adults really know what’s going on teenager’s lives?”
