I will mark your answer as brainlist If you answer this question for me.
In a New York Times Opinion Column, the author of The Outsiders wrote the following:

“The trouble is, grownups write about teen-agers from their own memories, or else write about teenagers from a stand-off, I'm-a-little scared-to-get-close-they're hairy view. Teenagers today want to read about teenagers today. The world is changing, yet the authors of books for teenagers are still 15 years behind the times.”

In the space below summarize the problem the writer saw with books that were being published about teenagers. Remember she was speaking about the 1960s and 1970s and not the current day.

I would really appreciate it if You answered this question. Thank you! :)

Whenever S. E. Hinton, or the author of The Outsiders first started writing the book, she was only 16 years old. Even though her age may have had a contribution to the problem that she had with books that were being published about teenagers, I believe that there was another reason. To me, that reason is because other adult writers wrote about things that may have happened when they were teenagers and not really in depth or understanding with what actually went on in teens lives. She also noticed how as the years move on teenagers tend to change as well as their interests and the world around them.
