I was totally confused, never had many friends and read constantly. I would read maybe 30 books a year all through my teenage years, I wish I could still read like that. when I was 16 I was put in a program for broad-minded kids (that sounds pretentious but I don't mean it to, that's just how it was) which allowed me to spend half the school day reading whatever literature I wanted or discussing concepts (usually philosophy) with other people in the program. these kids introduced me to drugs and I got really into it and tried everything I could get my hands on, particularly rx speed which I got addicted to. I was also a total music nerd, so not much has really changed in that respect. and I was depressed as hell and edgy and always ready to fight, even guys way bigger than me; I remember really hating people and really hating my parents, especially my dad.

Mine was wild but not as wild as some of my 20s. Lots of drink ,drugs , mad shit and stuff.Banned from school and all that. Sounds fun , but actually I was always looking forward to being a few years older , if *not* more mature...
Hodge-podge experience as a teenager. I reveled in what little responsibility I had and shirked it off my shoulders as much as possible. I did save a fair amount of money to do the things that I liked and managed to put away some cash for university. I flew by being a teenager at the seat of my pants. I just rolled the dice and went with what came face up for me each day. By the time I was 17, 18 and 19 in high school - I was getting drunk and stoned as often as I could and wanted to. I had a car, friends, and a life. Some things have really changed. I have learned many lessons the hard way. Life is bound to catch up with me at some point. I always feel like I take wide strides in my life and periods of standing still for far too long. Being a teenager was a lot like wanting to take wider strides down the path of life.
I always thought that being non teen must be really boring. But looking back , you realise u can only do so many daft things to get a buzz , before winding up in a *very* bad situation.. Teens was ok , but I wouldnt go back...
I was very troubled, mentally.. like I had a lot nerves issues, I couldn't control my emotions, I would overreact and live in my bubble sort of without realizing there were people around me who suffered.. I was a social butterlfy, I had many friends and many boyfriends, and we all partied and drank and did psychedelic drugs together, but mostly just smoked pot. My hair was multicolored. I traveled between France to Spain, to Italiy to Greece to England to Ireland to.. everywhere.. I was obsessed with music and this hasn't changed, only my collection has gotten bigger and better! I was very much into guitar playing, before I broke my wrist and couldn't play again. My best friend Sophie died of a cocaine overdose one day and that kinda.. did something to me. I became traumatized with that and later on when I met my ex-fiance it caused problems. But I've gotten over them by now. My high-school years are a mess.. I took 2 years in Spain and one in Texas... then met my ex in New York... and he flew to Spain to live with me there.. still a teen, 18.. still pretty troubled, nervously.. still a lot of growing to do. But I was in love, so in love with my ex fiance.. and I'll keep it at that so I can end it with a smiley face
I smoked a lot of pot... and went skating. Did some drink from time to time. I didn' really date but a few boys, didn't really have a lot of friends, I'm sure due to my depression that I'm still battling with, but fell in love with one guy and moved out by time I was 18 to have a baby and start a life. I moved to fast, thought I was a lot older then what I was, and it all came crashing down one day, it's cause some set backs in my adult life, but I'm starting to over come it, and I haven't let it get the best of me One day I'll be where I want to be with my life and that's all that really matters.
I was the fightenest drinkenest teenager in the west of Texas. Which put me pretty high in the fightenest drinkenest teenager world wide. I was sort of a vagrant delinquent by 16 to which I'm now trying to atone for. On the plus side, I was a really resourceful and fun kid.
Actually I left out all the funny shit I did in high school. I mean like, the few times I year I actually showed up. Usually I was half drunk or popping percocets and the like, some what have yous, but I used to actually be a pretty funny guy. I still am, but it's not the same as when you have all those fresh moments of comedic gold unfolding before you endlessly. Im pretty suprised that I never did one single thing in school except get banned from everyone in the 3 surrounding counties, yet I devour physics, philosophy, art, music and chemistry ( ) like a madman now. I guess everyone really just learns at a certain pace and will do what is right when they are ready. Half the people I knew wanted to kill me though, I was seriously a bad kid, cant even be saying the stuff we used to do :cheers2:
i was constantly changing at that point. i had a different primary group of friends every year, although it was a small school and i still stayed friends with the groups from previous years, so by graduation i was friends with pretty much everyone, but close to almost no one. i got generally good grades, although from about 7th through 10th grade i would intentionally lower my grades because i hated the day each quarter when they would announce the honor roll students and everyone would get pissed at me for studying (i never studied once). i played football all through junior high and high school, ran track in junior high and my last two years of high school, and played basketball in junior high until i realized that i absolutely despise the sport. i alternated randomly between being a huge drunk and being straightedge, mostly due to the confusing-ass mixed signals i was constantly being fed at home. smoked pot only on occasion, and never actually with friends from school. i watched a lot of tv and played a lot of video games, but was still in amazingly good physical condition, and my mind was a steel trap at the time. i was commonly depressed because it was already becoming clear that females were incapable of seeing me as a sexual being, but i was also smarter than anyone else in the school and more athletic than about 85% of them, so my confidence by graduation was soaring and it was hard to remain depressed for long. uhh, there's substantially more to add and i don't really care to do so right now, so i will just sum up my high school experience in two words: spontaneous erections.
