Help me with an assignment: Teen Culture

In my normal style, I've left a big assignment to the last minute (due in just over six hours!).

It's really not a very hard assignment, I just need to find 13 links to videos, pictures, blogs, magazine articles websites, etc. that touch on some aspect of current teen culture. I'm a little out of touch with this, so I'm not really sure what to look for. So far I'm discussing Justin Bieber and 16 and Pregnant. I'll probably do something on the new Twilight movie and a new video game, perhaps Call of Duty. Maybe I'll do something on memes too.

Basically, if you have any sort of teen culture topic to suggest I'll really appreciate it! And if you can come up with a link to a video, or article or whatever on the subject I'll appreciate it even more!

I know, is it any wonder I've completely avoided this assignment until now? Hell, it was assigned two months ago and I've kept on procrastinating. And here I am again, not working.

I hear those youngsters go to the drive-in and don't watch the movies at all! Today's youths don't appreciate the value of hard-earned money, I tell you what!

I don't think I want to know what that is, and I have a feeling that it's not the sort of subject I should include in a school project.


Thanks to all for your suggestions, I've got some good material out of it. In fact I'm almost done! Only two more entries to go, I'd be much further behind without you guys. :group:

YES. Thank you, I was having trouble thinking of one last topic to cover and this will be it.

Again, thanks to all who have helped. I now have all the material I need, so you can all stop with the suggestions. Unless you don't want to stop, then feel free to come up with more, but I won't use them.
