What do teen girls talk about? - book?

I've often wondered how male authors manage to bring across teenage girl characters if they themselves have not been one, or even had one as a daughter and even if they did have one as a daughter they are not privy to the type of discussions they have.



Now as a guy I know how teenage boy conversations go but I would be guessing to assume I know what girls talk about.. So, can you girls help me out here



When your by yourself, do you find yourself thinking about guys much and if so in what way?



When your with a group of girls, what do you all tend to talk about vs when your just with your friend?



thanks for the insightsWhat do teen girls talk about? - book?
Interesting

Girls talk about guys... A LOT

They talk about hot guys, ugly guys etc.



We also talk about other girls a lot (like what they are wearing, their hair etc)



But most of all girls LOVE to gossip (who hooked up with who... that sort of thing)







When I am alone I think about guys a good portion of the time, but I don't think about them sexually. Mostly I will just think about things guys say or do and what they meant by them. Or I will think about funny things that guys said. All of the sexual stuff girls like to talk about with other girls.What do teen girls talk about? - book?
girls talk about life and hot guys. well i do anyway.

we talk about shopping and movies and books. well everything i guess..
most of the conversations between girls are about boys, shopping, boys, boys, make up, books, school, boys, shopping, shopping, boys, celebrities, boys, and shopping.

at times we can get serious and like talk about something bad.. like health, sicknesses, money issues.

drama is another thing. a lot of girls talk crap about others which starts drama.

a lot of crying is done too.

haha.



thats the most of it.

if you're with one girl or a bunch.. only the intensity of the conversations changes.

hope that helps!
They talk about other people. That's it. Guys they like, girls they hate, guys they wish would like them, people from school who are in trouble for whatever reason. Honestly, it's not that much different from the way teenage guys talk about that kind of stuff, except that girls spend more time on it. That's probably because we don't have distractions like Halo to pick up conversational lags.
yes, we definitely do talk about guys.



for example

what we like (and don't like) in a guy (personality and physically)

celeb guys

guys in our lives, like ones with potential, the good and bad about them, which ones we may have crushes on or ones that somebody else may like

how far we or someone else has gone with a particular guy

our ';type'; of guy

what we would or do want from a guy as a friend and/or a relationship (hypothetically or with a specific guy in mind)

basically any and everything



when you're with a bigger group, it tends to be more gossip-y or about general things or movies and people and big stuff that is happening

when you're with a friend, it may be something more specific you both have in common or something more serious, but it can still just be gossip too

it kinda depends on the girl here, like, some are more intellectual some focus more on other things, like really, it all depends on an individual on what he or she is comfortable talking about in a group and what he or she prefers to talk about only with close friends
It really depends on what type of character you are trying to develop. Just like guys, different groups of girls talk about different things. It just depends what their interests are.



stereotypical things that girls talk about are----

guys

music

books

movies

shopping

school- depending on age



but these things change depending on everyones interests, so it is hard to say.



When i am just with one good friend or so, i pretty much talk about the same thing, but just more openly.



It depends whether or not this girl is in a relationship as to whether or not she is always thinking about him whilst she is by herself. If she is, I think it is safe to say that he is never far from her thoughts. If she isn't, this depends on her character and other interests. but yes, if she has a massive crush or something, she might think about boys a fair bit, BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME! lol :P



If you are writing a book, i hope it goes well



Best wishes and HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
Well as a girl I usually wonder if the guy I like ever thinks about me or if anything reminds him of me. I worry about what I will wear the next time I see him and if he likes the looks of other girls more than me.



As a group of friends we normally give and take advice about our relationships. We talk about our rules at home how unfair they are. What plans we have for the night. What we want to buy next or the way were gonna do our hair. What dress and where to buy it for prom.



With just my bestfriend its alot more personal. We go out to eat and know exactly what each others gonna order. We ask specific questions about each others relationships and if we think were pregnant. We cry and laugh together. We can be as rude and critical but were never offended. Its like were almost the same person.
