Why do many heroines in YA lit seem clueless and vulnerable?
Strong, confident adolescent girls are unappealing to the YA audience.
YA heroines need to be vulnerable to attract the YA audience.
Complex young women with confidence in their teens don't exist.
Readers will feel more connected to the story if they feel superior to the heroine.
This is not a weakness in YA lit: most YA heroines are complex and multifaceted.
