Essay Topic

I'm not exactly sure as of what I want to write my essay on. I have a three interests of topics in mind. I think writing about a teenager leaving home and trying to become independent would be a good topic to write about. I know that when I was getting ready for college, I couldn't wait to leave home and become independent and not have to rely on my parents. I was excited to be able to make my own rules and have everything the way that I wanted it not so much as how my parents wanted things. I also think writing about finding a role model would be a good topic too, because when you are developing in your childhood years everyone needs a role model in their life. They need someone they can look up to and be able to go to for advice. I thought I found a good role model to look up to when I was younger, but as the years went by I soon found that they weren't the best of role models to look up to. So I believe that every adolescent should have some type of good role model they can truely be able to look up to. The third topic that I think would also be interesting to write about is if adults can really write like a teenager, and have an authentic voice of a teenager. I believe that some adults may have the ability to write and sound authentically like a teenager, but it takes a very talented writer in order to be able to do so, and have their writing sound really good.

  1. I think the first topic has alot of possibilities. I see this as being common in adolescent literature. And it may make it even easier for you if you can also relate to the subject matter. I know what you mean though, I also went through the phase where I couldn't wait to be out on my own and have a feeling of independence. Now that I've actually accomplished it, I think it's over rated to be independent. Costs too much and gets lonely haha. Good luck with your paper though!
