"For the record, I'm not a 'china doll' you can choose to play around with whenever you want. And for the last time, I'm not going to do your math homework for you."

Lainey Yên Duong is the average Vietnamese teenager with strict Asian parents. She's always been surrounded by people who are similar to her, the ones who don't make fun of other people's food their immigrant parents make for their child's lunch. But as the Asian hate crimes in Lainey's area begin to become known, more of the world she entrapped herself in is revealed as a façade. Lainey now must face the reality of racism and learn how to accept not only her community but herself as an individual, Vietnamese teenager.

The Diary Of A Teenage Girl [COMPLETED]
Being a teenager is tough, and that's before you factor in the boys, jealous exes and developmental issues. -------------------------------------- "Hello? Who is this?" I asked. Silence replied my question. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I was about to hang up but then a quiet whisper came through the other end of the line. "Stay away from him." "What? who? Who is this?" Fear started to creep into my voice. "Just stay away, I don't want to have to do something drastic." Their voice was cold, sending shivers down my spine. "Who is this? Who do you want me to stay away from?" The other end was silent. "Hello?" I heard two consecutive beeps then looked at my phone; the call had disappeared, almost as if it had never happened. -------------------------------------- Mei has wished she was normal all her life. Getting bullied as a kid, mocked for falling over all the time, has left her trying to avoid as much sport as possible. Although, despite being dyspraxic, she still couldn't escape PE lessons, even when she got to Sixth Form. One PE lesson, she falls over in front of her crush and he offers to teach her to kayak. She has mixed feelings about participating in a sport after loathing them so much. Mei soon realises there's more to worry about than being clumsy, though, when her crush's ex brings herself into the scene.Complete

"I don't like assumptions, but if I am at a party like this hosted by a person that I've heard enough for you to be, I would think you'd look into hooking up with someone by the end of the night."

Breaking the script
Here's a concept for your YA novel: Title: "Breaking the Script" Synopsis: Seventeen-year-old Isla Reyes has lived her entire life under the spotlight-not by choice, but because her parents are Hollywood royalty. Her mother, Mei Ling Zhang, is a globally celebrated Asian actress known for her Oscar-winning performances, while her father, Javier Reyes, is a Mexican heartthrob who's dominated the industry for decades. Their world is all about red carpets, flawless public images, and staying in control. But Isla is anything but in control. Struggling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, addiction, and the suffocating expectations of her family, she spends her nights sneaking out to underground clubs and her mornings numbing herself just to make it through the day. Her grades are slipping, the tabloids are watching, and the only people who seem to get her are her best friend Sasha, an aspiring director, and Luca, a musician who shares her reckless habits. Then there's Camila, the sharp-tongued artist Isla can't stop thinking about, even as she finds herself falling into something dangerous with Luca. As her world spirals, Isla is forced to confront painful truths-about her mental health, her sexuality, and whether she wants to live the life scripted for her or write her own. But breaking free means risking everything, including the love of the parents who never truly saw her. Would you like me to expand on any part-maybe add more about her friendships, family dynamics, or her journey toward healing?❤️🩹 She's a ♐️ her friends a Virgo ♍️ and a Pisces ♓️Complete
