Do the charatcers in my comic book talk the way real teenagers talk? I'm trying to avoid slang, so that it won't appear dated in a few years, but I'm not sure if they sound the way real kids talk.

I think they do. I'm always walking around going, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" and complaining about jogging and stuff. Don't worry Butters! They sound like teens!

Thanks girls ^-^
I'm trying to avoid that nasty habit that some writers have of trying too hard, wherein their characters either use random trendy slang or sound like adults.

Well, you're not using slang or talking like adults. It sounds like normal teen girls to me. Good work, Butters!

Just one thing, but I know you've already heard it. The 'babies' thing.

Some men do, some also call their pets, " my children ".
Edit.: Just remembered, did you ever see the 1st Superman movie? Lex Luthor asked Otis, " Did you feed the babies? " ( meaning his pet lions. )
