just make them have teenage attitudes and be teenagers like go hanging out with friends, partying, and all that stuff that teenagers like to do!How can i make my teenage character realistic?
Just make sure the characters have good and bad characteristics. Don't make them too perfect or they will seem fake. Just maintain the balance between kid and adult. The characters should be slightly naive but also mature. Teenage characters are all about balance between adult and kid. They should have real emotions and react the way a real teen would. Ask your friends for help on the topic as well.
To entertain a youn audience make sure the story stays realistic but not to the point of boredom. They should be able to feel the emotions of the characters and make their own opinions. The book should have a fun/creative side but also have a serious plot to it. Be sure the problem is clear and stay on topic. Hope I helped(:
Anna,
You make a good point here with your question. A lot of the answer you got so far are pretty good. Design your characters after real life people. When you write your dialogue, make sure you have them speak exactly the way you would. You have to be two or three people at the same time, remember that.
For every action there must be a reaction from the author. That reaction comes from what you've told the 'action' character to say. In other words you have to argue with yourself at times. You have to show emotion on both sides at times. It's all YOU.
You're right in believing that you will definitely entertain your audience with realistic situations and dialogue. You're off to a great start right there.
I wish you luck.

Base them on people you know and the dialogue on stuff those people would actually say.
That's when you get some really raw and realistic characters
think about how you talk to your friends and have them talk like that.
make them have a myspace...
