Ugh my main character is a 17 year old boy too (surrounded by 4 girls, so that makes it a bit easier). I have to have my brother go over everything I write to make sure what I'm writing "Isn't too gay" (his words, not mine).
The most important thing Daniel and his friends told me about writing teenage boys is to not think too hard and give them deep reasons for doing things... because they're just not like that. If you need help, I can have my brother look over things for you.
I've talked to several guys about their lives at seventeen and probably scarred them for life in the process. My brother was also seventeen not so long ago while I was at Agnes, so I asked him some questions. This gives my perspective a definitely geeky bent, though.
