  1. Have you read Stoner and Spaz??  If not, it's definately worth it!  This one meets your qualifiers:  teen girl&guy, both outcasts for different reasons (he has CP and lives w/ his gran, she is a rebel, a user, from a messed up family), she's hot (not sure about him), together they help each other work on personal issues and a special project.

    I'm sorry, but the author escapes me at the moment!


  2. Maybe try The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl...

    It's got similiar themes to the ones you list and you might like it--the guys got issues but it's not abuse or gayness. Here's a review.

    Grades 9 Up–On good days, Fanboy is invisible to the students at his high school. On bad ones, he's a target for bullying and violence. When a classmate is cruel to him, Fanboy adds him to The List and moves on. His only real friend, Cal, is a jock who can't be seen with him in public. Their love of comics, though, keeps them close friends outside of school. Reading comics and writing his own graphic novel, Schemata, are the only things that keep him sane. He dreams of showing his work to a famous author at a comic-book convention and being discovered as the next great graphic novelist. When Goth Girl Kyra IMs him with photos of him being beaten up, he's skeptical. Why does she care what happens to him? He learns, though, that she's as much an outsider as he is. The two form a tentative friendship based on hatred of their classmates, particularly jocks, and her interest in Schemata. Fanboy is a rule follower, but Kyra is a rebel with a foul mouth. She teaches him to stand up for himself, and gives him the confidence to do it. Lyga looks at how teens are pushed to their limits by society. Though he toys with such concepts as teen suicide and Columbine-like violence, the novel never turns tragic. His love of comics carries over into all three teen characters, breathing animation into a potentially sad but often funny story. This is a great bridge book for teens who already like graphic novels.–Stephanie L. Petruso, Anne Arundel County Public Library, Odenton, MD


  3. There's a book and film like that called A Taste of Honey. the guy's g*y and the girl's pregnant by a one-night-stand with a black man.
