the number of words is not important what's important is the content of the book!!!

There is no right answer for this. I suggest putting in as much information you want to put into the chapter, as opposed to a number of words. By trying to count words in a chapter you end up with something that more resembles a school assignment than a cohesive novel. Write what you want to, and when you say what you want said, then set a new chapter.

I am also a teen writing a book. I just write as long as the event or whatever needs to be. Chapters can vary in size.

There is another question in this list about how long a chapter should be. It has some good answers. You might look there. A chapter, like a sentence, is long enough to express your thoughts. You break chapters when there is a break in the action.

You should let the book shape itself naturally, after all it is art, isn’t it? Not a military exercise… Just write what you want to say and worry about it later, that’s what editors are for, in any case.

A chapter can be as long as you like, but you might want to have a medium- you don't want very long chapters and then very short ones.
