I went to three different high schools, in three different cities, and two different states. I was never in one place long enough to make friends and establish myself in anything. I was miserable and had a gigantic chip on my shoulder. But, at the same time, I'd take a little of that freedom I had in my teen years. Oh yeah, and the fact that Mom and Dad paid for everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486027252802681746.post-65620231114463554472009-09-01T16:54:01.414-05:002009-09-01T16:54:01.414-05:00as someone currently, in there teen years I totall...as someone currently, in there teen years I totally agree!!! When I look back at middle school years, I had free time and I did not feel guilty about it. Like right now I guess this would be free time for me except I should totally be doing my summer reading for school am I doing it no? And later I'm going to regret spending an entire day not doing/finishing my work. Life sucks. <br /><br />By the way I love reading about authors favorite teen moments.

I was bored and felt misunderstood (why couldn't my parents understand that socializing and partying was way more important than getting an education?) so I ended up a high school drop out. <br />But I wouldn't change anything if I could go back - I learned a lot and paid for my mistakes, but all those experiences created the person I am now. Some parts of our lives we can only survive, but it's through those times that I think we learn what it really means to live. <br />Steph, I so appreciate your honesty in your posts-I am sure your readers (as in, your target YA demographic) also appreciate your honesty and it rings true with them in a very relatable way.
