If a teen boy could do anything he wanted...

The cheerleaders at my school would not have been safe in my presence.

That little blond girl I met when I was a freshman.

I'm guessing it would have something to do with Britney Spears and a stick of rhubarb.

See, all three responses so far have to do with sex. If you want a truly accurate representation of what teenage boys want, then the next ten replies will need to be about sex, too. Then maybe a fast car. But a fast car is pretty much about getting sex, so...

Success at some sport might get in there too, but I agree girls would feature highly

Yes, but isn't the wish for hot cars/sport prowess really just another way to get girls?

Well, start it off by analyzing what's happening to him.
Physiologically, you're going through these major rushes of testosterone, you find yourself strangely aroused by anything with a pulse, you've got hair and zits all over the place, you find yourself strangely aroused by anything with a pulse, you have a mass of insecurities, you find yourself strangely aroused by anything with a pulse, you've probably just gotten into a gawky growth stage, and you find yourself strangely aroused by anything with a pulse.

I don't really think I missed anything there.

Certainly for me it would have been the unrivaled admiration of all the sweet old ladies at church. That was my dream in high school. And if magic could make it happen, then so be it.

Oh, and my hot English teacher'd have been walking bull-legged for a week.

A-hem.

I think I would have wanted to try some outrageously HUGE test of my power. Moving a pyramid to Wyoming or something like that. If I could do that, then I knew I would be ready for the ultimate challenge: convincing a girl I was cool.

The hot car maybe, but some boys really are into their sports. I was.

Being a teenager, I'd still like a hover car. And I'd be kidding myself if sex wasn't far from my mind, but lets just assume the sex is taken care off. After, before and possibly during the sex, I'd enjoy:

A better computer. A magically better computer!
To lose weight and get mucles without having to work at it.
To be able to fly without mechanical intervention.
And, finnaly, to have a holodeck.

Come on...who dosn't want a holodeck every once and a while?

Ooh, also! I always wanted to be able to make people piss their pants and puke (and a variety of other, erm, bodily functions) by just pointing at them, if that helps at all.

Make a border collie speak english.

I'm just guess the real question is not WHAT would he do, but WHO would he do.

Just my .02.

Bingo.

My little brother's about that age. The idea of him with endless power will probably give me nightmares -- and he's a good kid, really.

He'd probably tend towards: Sex. Concert tickets. A cool car. The ability to drive. More sex. Drugs. Alcohol. More concert tickets. More sex. Good grades -- without having to ever actually go to class. For my parents to never give him shit about anything. To get out of summer school. A lot of money. And then, uh, more sex, drugs, and concert tickets.

It's not really a very complicated life he leads.

...Actually, while he would probably go for all of that first, he would then undoubtedly want to step in and help out my mother and stepfather with their legal troubles, my father with his relationship troubles, all of us with any financial troubles, my sister with her dental troubles... I can't imagine, even with ultimate power, he would do a good job of helping out, but he would certainly try. It would be like a really hilarious 'Emma.'

As for me at that age, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I wasn't a very cool teenager.

My roomie, the engineer is asking:

How precise will he have to be with these "urges"?

Oh if I had godlike powers, I'd want to try out being a girl for a bit. I've always wondered what it was like

I have a teenage son...

Yes, he'd go for the obvious. He'd also like to be "really ripped", or so he tells me. I think this just links right back in to that whole "sex" thing. He'd also be "a basketball god", have the best game system *evah*, win the lotto, and, yeah, get a "sweet" car.

In the end, I think his goals would be 1) admiration 2) sex 3) not to have to do any real work and 4) amusement....but not necessarily in that order.

I'm so glad he's not all powerful! He'd be insufferable...

From the sound of this thread, I'd think it would be a relief just to not have to think about sex all the time. Honestly, doesn't it get boring after a while?

Cars

And a way to have fun and be popular with the guys. Cars and sports are fun, even if you don't get the girls, and sometimes girls are no more than bragging rights with the guys.

Nah, I'd just try it from the other way, then switch back. Or stick around, depending on how much fun it was.
