What to Call “Teen Interests”

One area of the new teen website will feature short to medium length blurbs about a wide variety of things of interest to teens. They will range from frivolous (like Timewasters now) to serious ( Like reminders of finding health and wellness material on Teen Health and Wellness) Basically anything we put up that is not specific to Books and Reading, Movies and Music, or Homework and Research will go here – kinda like the Lifestyle section of the newspaper.

So what to call this area:
Teen Interests - “Teen” is redundant on Teen site?
Random Stuff too trivial for serious subjects ?
Teen Topics – too serious?
Your Life – too vague?

I am leaning toward Random Stuff because it will really be random. Remember that all the items will go across the home page as well so, people will have the chance to read the item even if they don’t visit the “Teen Interests - Random Stuff –Teen Topics -Your Life” section

Any other ideas, comments please speak up now!

Way today and way out?

Referring to stuff fun now but things to consider for the future. Pun on way out meaning off beat things?

I think we should go with something pretty straightforward and not too flashy, maybe Extra or
Featured or something like Hot Spot, implying something timely from any source.

Have you seen this page...?

A few suggestions...

Teen Matters
Teen Appeal
Teen Demand

Forget the last one, it sounds angry.

Borrowing directly from the name that Ann Arbor District Library uses to describe their random teen programs, I kinda like 'life 101". It's vague but maybe vague will cause them to click on it out of curiosity if nothing else.

Since this will already be on a teen cite, titleing anything "Teen (whatever)" may be redundant.

What about special features, playing off the extra info on DVDs?
