I haven’t been a teen for many years and I have never been a girl so I cant say my own experience will be relatable for girls. Honestly I don’t know how a girl should enjoy Shabbos.
What I enjoy is the Davening, Shabbos food, zemiros and divrei Torah, learning on Shabbos without any interruptions, the peacefulness of no phones and computers, the knowledge that that this is a special day that we get to spend with Hashem and bask in His glory and try to tune in to that. I would say that Shabbos is an acquired taste and one must tune into the Shabbos frequency to be able to enjoy it. If you live a shallow life all week Shabbos will not speak your language. You will be missing your phone the whole day. A person has to work to become a Shabbos Jew. Nobody likes to hear it but to enjoy any part of Yiddishkiet takes work, both working on the spiritual and not being such a physical person. Learning takes work. Mitzvos takes work. Davening takes work. The more physical a person is the harder it will be to taste spirituality. I hope that I am being helpful to you.
