Teen: I'm reading The Great Gatsby.

Me: What do you think so far?

Teen: None of these people are normal.

When you were a teen, did your parents approve of the books you were reading?

is anyone else reading this as "teen boys don't deserve teen girls the way I do" because that's really how it sounds to me
RFK Jr: An American teenager today has less testosterone than a 68 year old man. Sperm counts are down 50 percent.

WATTERS: Wait -- an American teenager has less testosterone than a 68 year old man?

RFK JR: That's right

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

I just finished reading Parable of the Sower and I’ve quit my job to become a full time Octavia Butler booster. One of the best books I’ve ever read, every teen should be reading it right now (yes even the deeply horrific parts)

Turns out reading about social engineering in my teen years did, in fact, come in handy.

Besides if you stop teen girls from reading romance novels they’re just going to go read sasunaru fic online

i wrote about motion capture, animation, and bodies in games for TEEN VOGUE! it's very excited to have a byline at a magazine that i've been reading since i was teen✨

Why Are Thin Bodies the Default in Games?
Motion capture has the ability to capture fat bodies. So why don't we see more plus-size characters in games?

Been reading New Teen Titans. She's the best. I will murder Dick Greyson if he fumbles her.

Is the original New Teen Titans run by Wolfman and Pérez worth reading?

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down.

Maybe a day to call all your reps again and to demand action

My teen is reading about Shakespeare. Just heard him say to his brother “huh huh huh, Coriol YOUR anus” and now I can no longer be smug that my teen is reading about Shakespeare.

Teen: I'm going to put my headphones on.
Me: Fine, I'll just listen to the new Murderbot novella.
Teen: Oh I'm also reading Murderbot!
Me: The new one?
Teen: No the first one!
Me: Oh! That's awesome! Can we talk about it?
Teen: Dad, headphones on.

I discovered the apocrypha gospels as a teen and I cannot explain how much I loved reading about what a shit kid Jesus was.
For really good fanfic, the Apocryphal gospels are the tits. I cannot recommend the Gospel of the infancy of Christ highly enough. Everyone who offends baby Jesus dies....

Obsessively reading books as a teen to burned out adult pipeline.

In young people reading in public news, I am with family in AZ this weekend and my youngest teen niece is reading Rooney’s Normal People in advance of watching the adaptation.

On the flight down, teen boys near me were reading books and writing in paper journals. Doodling too.
