Sounding like yourself isn't always beneficial to the piece you are writing. Not everyone talks like a scholar, especially teenagers. Teenagers use all types of colorful lingo and slang when they are speaking to someone. Pulling out the thesaurus and looking up words you wouldn't use in an everyday conversation is okay. It makes you sound more educated and gives off the impression that you know what you are talking about. Then again, your readers wouldn't be having a good look at "the real you". Your readers would perceive you as someone who you aren't and you wouldn't be speaking to them how you would normally speak to anyone else, causing you to not a have a real connection to your audience.
