Well, no ones really average or typical. I don't really think your description applies to everyone. I would just describe yourself, unless you think your really abnormal or something..

Add moodswings, constant boy-talk, trying to discover her identity and who her real friends are, and some can be major drama queens. Not to mention cell phones and internet (especially facebook, twitter, etc.) when you're talking about a teenage girl in 2010. You would definitely add school, and trying to figure out your career goals. You obviously do your homework, and possibly get a job after school, or you may be involved with sports or whatever or be involved in school somehow. Add rebelling against parents, trying to do your own thing, getting into arguments with your parents, and I guess that goes along with discovering your own identity. Add clothes, shopping, going to the mall, keeping up with the latest trends when it comes to clothes and make-up. Add getting your driver's license, going to prom/homecoming, getting your first bf, graduation from high school later on, sweet sixteen, getting her own car (if she does when she's a teen)...those are just the major events in a teen girl's life. I did mention boy-talk, but boys are a major part of a teen girl's life, obviously and is a cause of major drama. And I forgot drama. Add tons and tons of drama. Add staying up all night for pointless reasons, like talking to a friend all night because of drama. Or maybe it's for homework reasons--in which case, it's not completely pointless. Add movies, celebrities, TV shows...There's a lot of gossip regarding celebrities, especially among teens who seem to be fascinated by, and frequently emulate them.

That's all I can think of for now. Sorry if it's a bit scattered. I hope that helped a bit.

There's no such thing as a typical teenage girl. That assignment's kind of stupid...it's *asking* you to stereotype and generalize.

But...I would suggest focusing more on the emotional stuff. There are universal feelings that many teenage girls tend to feel...worry, fear, sadness, love, stuff like that.
But stuff like doing makeup and clothes...that's way different for everyone. Plus it doesn't particularly make for a good poem.
