If you're after modern, try the American Pilot, one of the new RSC plays - look in Samuel French, or look up the new Royal Court stuff. Um if it's Shakespeare try the jailor's daughter's speech from Two Noble Kinsmen as opposed to Juliet.
Don't forget that you can always edit together a speech from a person's lines in a play. You don't have to pick something with a long monologue already written. Just make sure it makes sense.
Otherwise; Daisy Pulls It Off, The Gut Girls, Road - these are good plays with things for teenage girls in.

THE LION AND ALBERT
by
Marriott Edgar
There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool,
That's noted for fresh-air and fun,
And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Went there with young Albert, their son.
A grand little lad was their Albert
All dressed in his best; quite a swell
'E'd a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle
The finest that Woolworth's could sell.
They didn't think much to the ocean
The waves, they was fiddlin' and small
There was no wrecks... nobody drownded
'Fact, nothing to laugh at, at all.
So, seeking for further amusement
They paid and went into the zoo
Where they'd lions and tigers and cam-els
And old ale and sandwiches too.
There were one great big lion called Wallace
His nose were all covered with scars
He lay in a som-no-lent posture
With the side of his face to the bars.
Now Albert had heard about lions
How they were ferocious and wild
And to see Wallace lying so peaceful
Well... it didn't seem right to the child.
So straight 'way the brave little feller
Not showing a morsel of fear
Took 'is stick with the'orse's 'ead 'andle
And pushed it in Wallace's ear!
You could see that the lion didn't like it
For giving a kind of a roll
He pulled Albert inside the cage with 'im
And swallowed the little lad... whole!
Then Pa, who had seen the occurrence
And didn't know what to do next
Said, "Mother! Yon lions 'et Albert"
And Mother said "Eeh, I am vexed!"
So Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Quite rightly, when all's said and done
Complained to the Animal Keeper
That the lion had eaten their son.
The keeper was quite nice about it
He said, "What a nasty mishap
Are you sure that it's your lad he's eaten?"
Pa said, "Am I sure? There's his cap!"
So the manager had to be sent for
He came and he said, "What's to do?"
Pa said, "Yon lion's 'eaten our Albert
And 'im in his Sunday clothes, too."
Then Mother said, "Right's right, young feller
I think it's a shame and a sin
For a lion to go and eat Albert
And after we've paid to come in!"
The manager wanted no trouble
He took out his purse right away
And said, "How much to settle the matter?"
And Pa said "What do you usually pay?"
But Mother had turned a bit awkward
When she thought where her Albert had gone
She said, "No! someone's got to be summonsed"
So that were decided upon.
Round they went to the Police Station
In front of a Magistrate chap
They told 'im what happened to Albert
And proved it by showing his cap.
The Magistrate gave his o-pinion
That no-one was really to blame
He said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms
Would have further sons to their name.
At that Mother got proper blazing
"And thank you, sir, kindly," said she
"What waste all our lives raising children
To feed ruddy lions? Not me!"

when you're tan, a pastel mutually with purple, blue, or pink ought to likely seem effective. a effective white with shimmer or gold flatters all people. you may also attempt a kit, mutually with those from healthcare professional's formula or Almay, that are made to tailor on your certain eye color. A brown ought to also seem effective, with shimmer in it, of route. in case you do not use mascara yet, attempt that. initiate with employing a clean one, this is going to seem organic and could be a lot less major in case you decrease to rubble at the same time as employing it than a black or brown plausible. also, once you've blond eyelashes, the evaluation on your eyebrows will be a lot less glaring in the experience that your mascara is clean, not black.

It depends completely on what your need is for, but if something classical then Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream has several speeches suitable for teens. Perhaps "thou speakst aright" (Act II scene i) or "if we shadows have offended" (Act V scene ii).

Haven't you tried a search, like Google? There's a super monologue site which I came across a few months ago - unfortunately can't remember what it was called.
