I completely agree, we need more boy-friends. I think there may be a lack of them in YA sometimes because authors worry that they may not be able to pull them off authentically or that teens think they can't relate. While I myself don't have many boy friends, I do have a few and it's a fun and enlightening friendship. I think people in the media (becuase it's not just authors, it's also TV and movie producers. Sidenote: I'm sick of the only guy friend being gay. Ugh. At least make the gay best friend different from the stereotype) need to realize that guys and girls can be just friends, no break up necessary.

I love the line about how everyone has their own inner self, so true :)
