This week’s writing prompts are about teens. If you don’t have teen children (or older offspring whose teens you remember), then apply the prompts to teen relatives or friends, or your own teen years. Or write about “teens round here…”
There are several milestone birthdays in the teens.
Write about what it means to reach one of these birthdays.

Teenagers love their gadgets. They walk around with earphones stuck in their ears (good excuse to not hear when you ask them to do a chore!) or their fingers busy with game controllers or texting. And when it comes to computers and the kinds of “gadgets” they use online like MSN or social networks…
Write about the gadgets your teenager owns, or even the way they use one particular gadget.

The prom is a milestone in the life of many teens. In fact they may have more than one. But however many they have it is certainly an occasion for photographs and journalling.
Write about how you felt when your child went to their school leaving prom.
Start “The day of the Prom…”
Start “His/her prom outfit was…”
~~~ Scrapbooker’s journalling challenge ~~~
Create a layout on “The Prom”.
One possibility would be to focus on the outfits.
Another would be to focus on the people.

What does a teenager’s day consist of?

If you’re a parent you probably don’t know or want to know your teen’s secrets! Did you have any secrets when you were a teen? What secrets might a teen of today have? How do they hide or share them? Journals, mobile phones, computers? What about the social networks they’re members of? I bet they don’t let you be their “friend”.
Write about teenagers and their secrets.

Teenagers seem to belong to tribes which dictate what their personal style is – emo or goth or whatever… Much of it seems to be black, whatever their style!
And when they’re not wearing strange combinations of layers, none of which are actually appropriate to the weather, they’re in fancy dress. There is a university city I drive through regularly and there doesn’t seem to be a time (except in the holidays!) when there aren’t groups of students in fancy dress walking into town…

My two just spent our holiday running away from me whenever I got the camera out. They know I’m a scrapbooker and they are unhelpful about providing pictures…
~~~ Scrapbooker’s journalling challenge ~~~
Create a layout with a bad picture – where someone has turned away or put their hands in front of their face or similar.
Add a humorous title.

When I was a child, there is a family story about how, on a motoring trip, we got lost, the car bumped along smaller and smaller roads and eventually ended up at the end of a track with nowhere to go. Despite being less than two I got fed up with the adults' loud discussions about who got them lost and how they were to find their way out again, and insisted I would get out of the car and find the road. Amused, they let me out and off I toddled determinedly.
This blog collects journalling prompts in one place at the rate of one a day. Use it for inspiration if you're a writer, journaller, blogger or scrapbooker. Where possible I'll add my own response to the prompt. Please feel free to suggest prompts, as a "guest prompter".
