Some of the tweets had legitimate concerns about gaping holes in the majority of YA, but others just didn't work for a reason -- possibly because as teens, some problems we don't want to deal with in real life AND in fiction.Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2981664243653036268.post-70449838951867899302015-04-04T07:48:48.281+08:002015-04-04T07:48:48.281+08:00oh my gosh those are so funny. lol.

I think the crux of this hashtag is to point out elements often neglected in YA, like friends and parents and diversity and tests, but these are left out for a good reason.

I happened to follow both John and Ava, who were very vocal on the hashtag, and so found it :D And yes!

Perhaps thats why we like books so much- they take us away from college worries, grades and other things us 'normal' teenagers worry about.

That's definitely a great point -- one of the most important things of drama is escapism, at least for myself personally, even if it reflects issues in real life.
