Realistic fiction books for young adults about serious issues?
I know that a question like this before, but I would like more recommendations. I like realistic fiction books, more for youth / teens, but I want something very intense, raw emotion and real issues, books for higher among adolescents. But please, no romance. A little more about bullying, suicide, self harm, depression, perhaps even friends problems. Only sad things intense, no gimmicks or vampire. I read thirteen reasons, such as books that would be a good thing, even with the advantages of being a wallflower. The book is "blue" by Sue Mayfield something? is "at the time you read this, I'm dead" any good either? Only a sad book not intense romance. Popular!

Creepy, fantastic and brilliant costume, every action of the story of a small connection to the rest, but it seems light years away from the idea of real life.

Book review: Mary Gordon "The love of my youth, a Roman holiday blues In a recent neighborhood party, a learned friend released something horrible. "I'm bored with fiction," he said. "I'm tired of novels from me." It is an intelligent woman of middle age, the type of character we find again and again in a series of beautifully choreographed "novels about" the way we live today. " was the dinner without a break, but I could hear the panic in the great edition … My favourite/best teen books
This 1987 thriller was a predictable hit with the teen audience it worked overtime to attract. Like most of director Joel Schumacher’s films, it’s conspicuously designed to push the right marketing and demographic buttons, and granted, there’s some pretty cool stuff going on here and there. Take Kiefer Sutherland, for instance. In Stand by Me he played a memorable bully, but here he goes one step …

Write short stories – from amateur to professional level
Write stories or poetry, where most of the authors begin their long journey to publication. It provides a perfect creative outlet for those who have feigned enthusiasm of a story to tell and want to transfer your creative thoughts on paper. Design a unique history and balanced is not easy and there are many traps, but with a little help, success is just steps away. Writing short stories, always consider what is trying to achieve. It is easy for the writer lost in the depths of his own imagination and a story of 1000 words can be tripled. Write stories is a way art and deserves much recognition that the writer must be focused and dedicated to the task.
There are lots of different story lengths, writers may choose flash fiction writing can be about anything 50 words in 1000, although many fantasy magazines in search of stories that have also had the opportunity to develop and grow and that may be around 2000 words mark. Identification of a market history is the first step, then once it has been determined, it is time planning the whole story. Writing short stories that are easily sold requires considerable planning to expand the market research around the publication in question. For example, what do you know about the readers? The story of a teenage pregnancy will not be of interest publications to those in their retirement years unless the writer can make it significantly related.
Many authors fail the first post, writing only for himself themselves. There are, of course, nothing wrong with writing for the sake of creativity alone, but like many writers are eager to see their story and name in print, is essential that these writers change their mentality of an amateur and a professional, then it means that many more opportunities and, in fact, fuel the fire even more creative.
Writing a story with a minimum number of words, the abandonment of many writers to fully develop their characters, but it is important the reader begins to connect with the characters and start taking care of the issue, otherwise the story of his lack of interest will be for them. That the reader can identify at an angle in the interest of the strong man and will help maintain their interest and then to the end.
Stories are all around us But time is our own unique interpretation that makes the story come alive. As writers, it is important that any mannerism witnesses, features and events stored for future use, what aspects of the events can be used to stories like an old building fear that you have seen the step could be used when try to imagine a haunted house for a ghost story. Life produces unlimited possibilities for storytellers everywhere, but to write short stories with serious attempt, we have to make good use of this material for free and then we can go from amateur to professional quickly and easily.

Much was written about Will Ferrell’s first “dramatic role” as Harold Crick, an IRS auditor who begins hearing a voice narrating his life. But Stranger Than Fiction is hardly a drama.
