Jeremy Peterson, aka the Squeaky Voiced Teen (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) is a character in The Simpsons. His name might be Jeremy because in a deleted scene of the episode "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song" on the Season 5 DVD, he's called Jeremy by Seymour Skinner. He is a teenager trapped in a long series of dead-end jobs. He is also referred to as "Pimple-faced kid", "Puberty Boy", "Geeky Teenager" and, on one occasion, "Old Man Peterson".

The squeaky-voiced teen has acne vulgaris, and his voice is in the process of breaking. He appeared in the opening sequence of one episode, kissing an attractive blonde girl on the couch. In the introductory sequence of another episode, he appeared as a valet getting the Simpsons' couch for them (although he did not receive a tip). He once attempted to commit suicide because FOX cancelled Futurama.

In one episode ("Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays"), he lost his squeaky voice to "become a man," after Lindsey Naegle suggested that the adults "kill every child . . . -friendly thing in town."

Also, Seymour Skinner refers to him as "Jeremy" from a deleted scene on The Complete Fifth Season DVD, which is in episode "(1F18) Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badass Song", in a scene where Skinner and Bart are on a roller coaster and the teen portrays a vampire who has "come to suck your blood". His surname is also hinted at in the episode Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy when Grampa quits his job at Krusty Burger. He refers to the SVT as Mr. Peterson.

There are a few different Squeaky Voiced Teens, invented usually to suit a certain locale. One was seen, for example in England; fittingly, he had an English accent and got beaten up by Dame Judi Dench off-screen. An Australian version of the Squeaky Voiced Teen was seen at the souvenir store that Lisa, Marge, and Maggie visited when the Simpsons were in Australia in the episode "Bart vs. Australia" where he suggests Bullfrogs should be called 'chazwazzers'. There is also one Krusty Burger restaurant that is entirely staffed by Squeaky Voiced Teens. A character that resembles the looks of the Squeaky-Voiced Teen is briefly seen when the Simpsons enter their hotel in the episode "Blame It On Lisa." In one of the "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween specials, Peter Pan has an identical voice and states he will "never grow up".

The Squeaky Voiced Teen is ubiquitous, existing not only in every conceivable locale, but in any historical era. In I Love Lisa, one of Sgt. Skinner's old platoon members was a Squeaky Voiced Teen. Skinner has a flashback, while doing morning announcements over the intercom, of the young man being brutally shot on a flatboat by snipers while writing a valentine for his girlfriend back home. Skinner then repeatedly screams the name "Johnny", and Bart says, "Cool. I broke his brain".

In the season 7 episode "Team Homer", it is implied that Lunchlady Doris is actually his mother, when he calls her mom and she replies "I have no son."
