Luckily, I think most YA is written by skilled and talented writers who have a passion for the YA voice (I would argue that there are many YA voices but the common thread is some of what chomjii mentioned.)

It is annoying to see the shelves cluttered with copycat books or with literature that talks down to teens or simply does a poor job of writing about that teenage experience when life during that young adult time is often just as emotionally charged.

This is why I'm for breaking some of the "rules" of YA, such as no-sex or cursing or drug abuse, etc. because clearly, some of these adults want YA to be a preachy don't-do-this kind of literature and that just isn't interesting to me at all.
