When they're not scaring the blank out of me, I've realised that I have no idea how the youth of today talk. Which is kind of a problem when I'm writing about teenagers.
Part of the problem is my lot, when we were that age, used to have half our conversations in elision, so if the sentence I'm trying to write were a conversation character A would say "did you ...?" with enough eyebrow raising and context for the other person know they meant, "did you have penetrative sex with person y?" The problem being that this is not a conversation and I become ever more aware that "did you go all the way?" probably went out of fashion some time in the last century.
