Teen Boy's Bedroom?

[jgurtler]

I'm trying to figure out what my character would have on the walls in his bedroom and wondering if anyone with teen boys knows if they put posters on their walls or do the decor on their own or do they just let mom or dad still be in charge of the decor. I know my sisters teen girls have walls plastered or individualized with cool stuff, but not

My boys (13 and 16) tear out posters that come in gaming magazines and put them on their walls. They have all kinds of stuff up there, and I didn't pick out any of it. My older son also goes to the comic book store all the time to get comics, and a couple of times he's bought posters there as well.

Awesome. thanks! My character will totally not have girls in Bikini's in his room.

a lot depends on what type of kid he is, how long he's lived in that house/room

Awesome, really helpful..I will steal the weights and towel or flag idea. :)

forgot to mention, he bought the weight bench & weights himself, used, from someone on craig's list (and he was previously not an athletic kid)

When my brother was a teen his room was still sort of decorated by mom. She liked for every room to have a theme, so Lou had a cowboy theme. There was a huge freaking barrel in the corner and cowboy paraphernalia hanging on the walls. But he also added his own stuff--things torn out of magazines, silly drawings that he and his friends had done, movie posters, etc.

Thanks, Tracy. This is one of those books that is kind of close to my heart. Edgy but has some really personal issues that I care about in it!

Thanks for stopping by to say congrats. :)
