I would like to find “real” short story contests for teens. I google, but I can’t find any, its kind of pathetic. Do you guys have any ideas of how I could find contests?

One of the things I love about the writing world is that teens don't really exist. You're either a writer, or a young writer. Sometimes it's best to throw yourself into the big league, because there isn't really much stuff tailored for child or teen writers.
If you go to your local WHSmiths, Waterstones, or whatever the American equivelants are, you know those big book shops which sell huge varieties of magazines, and get yourself some writers magazines, that's your best option for finding good, legitemate competitions.
The Writers Forum magazine regularly has a Youth Competition every month, so I'd recommend starting there.
