Something I& #39;ve been thinking about in relation to all the convos about if YA is skewing too old, is how many chronically-ill/disabled teens have different adolescent experiences. I frequently felt much younger because it seemed like I was missing out on the *teenage experience.*
We need to talk about how it& #39;s a privilege to, as a teen, *be* a teen. Whenever these conversations come up, we push aside experiences of teens who have to take on responsibilities that we usually equate with adulthood, and thankfully authors are discussing that on here...
