I love YA. I love to read it for myself, I love the fact that it allows me a point of entry with my students. I just love it. This weekend I’ve seen a bunch of tweets with the hashtag #VeryRealisticYA, thought they were amusing, and decided to share a few that I’ve seen recently that I really like.

This is hilarious. Especially since it’s something I’ve seen middle schoolers do at dances.

Girl hates boy. Boy hates girl. They never reach a different conclusion. #VeryRealisticYA

I may or may not have done this as a teenager.

Boy needs to overcome his tragic past. Girl breaks up with him bc no one can do that for you. #VeryRealisticYA

Black kid does same things other kids do. Everything in her life isn’t about race. Actually, it’s mostly about jazz. #VeryRealisticYA
