it's a story ive wriiten, which begins with a poem (i havent written the poem yet).
the story is about a group of teenagers (an Emo, a Goth, a Prep and a Chav) and how they make attempts to avoid peer pressure and try to avoid being/gving into stereotypes.
Emo: constantly tries to commit suicide
Goth: Writes poetry and stories about death and hatred
Prep: Drowns herself in reading books
Chav: Struggles the most to avoid the pressure
Ive decided to finish it, and I haven't really decided what's going to happen yet, but if anyone wants to contribute what they think should happen next or just has any opinions lease let me know.

It sounds like you are trying to write a stereotypical book about people trying to avoid stereotypes. This has been done so many times before. First of all, you need far more character analysis than what you have shown. All you have done from what I see is play into the very thing these characters are trying to avoid. You have given in to stereotypes big time. Plus I have no clue what a Chav is.

Sounds cliche to me--all the types, trying to be different in the same ways everyone else is trying to be different.
Why not start with a conflict--that's what drives every story--and see how your characters resolve/overcome it? It's a lot easier to start a story with a plot or a character than it is with a theme, especially a theme that has been used as often as this one has.
Like one of the others said, it reminds me of "The Breakfast Club"--a movie that is as close to perfect as a work examining teenage stereotypes can come.

While trying to avoid stereotypes, you're characters are stereotypes. Could be an interesting idea depending on the character development.

I think it sounds great. It applies to today's lifestyles. I don't have anything to contribute to it but I am sure as you write it all will come to you on it's own.
