Whats a good, present day book about teenagers that DOESN'T encourage love/sexual themes or feelings?

I'd like one about a high school teen. Everything I look at is about learning to love through bad experiences at 16. I mean, come on!! I can't seem to find any.Whats a good, present day book about teenagers that DOESN'T encourage love/sexual themes or feelings?
I read a book that I think you might like, but I loaned it to my friend so I forget the author's name. It was called Cobwebs, I think. Also, Halfway To The Sky by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley is a great, touching story that's not about love.Whats a good, present day book about teenagers that DOESN'T encourage love/sexual themes or feelings?
A great book for teenagers Twilight seris! they are a little sexual but not that bad. They are so addicting!

King Fortis the Brave - two strong female characters in Aimee and Gillian. Lots of adventure and lots of humor. You'll find it hard to put down.
Little Women and I Remember Mama
What's wrong with timeless classics. Geez, don't be so closed minded and force today's crap down kids throats.
Well.





To start, I'd try all the Pine Hollow books by Bonnie Bryant. As far as I can remember, there's no sex, little tiny bits of love here and there, and it's mostly about horses/college/school. Lah.





On the more Sci-Fi end of things, there's the amazing Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan which features main characters around that age... but definitely not in modern day times.





There's the Fearless series, which is GREAT (exciting, intelligent, sarcastic, biting, different, fresh, human interest) -- but may have more love than you're looking for.

I guess you'd have to stay away from ';Speak';, ';The Perks of Being a Wallflower'; and ';The Catcher in the Rye';....








Could you maybe give us more insight as to what you are looking for, and less about what you're not? I think we could help you more that way.
i read the contender in my english class

Try Chicken Soup. It is a series of books that are catered to different readers( ex: Chicken Sop for the Teenaged Soul, Chicken Soup for the Motherly Soul). These books are great to read and are uplifting. They are basically a bunch of notes and memoirs the author put together in one book. The catch is they are all sweet and soothing, sorta like Chicken Soup when you are sick. Cool, huh? try it out.
Cirque Du Freak series, The Demonata series, underworld blood enemy, the bar code tattoo, chinese cinderella, if u want more email me @ thuylin@gmail.com
