Non-Raunchy Young Adult Books (50 books)

As a young adult, I am really struggling to find many books that don’t make me feel uncomfortable. Lately I have abandoned many books because there was harsh language, sex scenes, or disturbing images, however I need books that are deeper in context than teen books! Please help me with this list!
P.S. The book can have the odd make-out scene or *implied* sex scene and some violence, but I want this list to basically be young adult books that you would not be embarrassed if your parents caught you reading them!
