Describe your teenage years

[Meryuma]

Ongoing and overly eventful.

[Lemonius]

Currently ongoing

But it's been a nightmare of betrayal, melodrama, unexpected self-diagnosed conditions, self harm, torrent of family issues, high expectations, difficult and new relationships, constant questioning of what my purpose is, trying to fit in and failing, not wanting to fit in, sadness and isolation due to being an outcast, fear, paranoia, hysteria, constant judgement, stress, pressure, incredibly heavy workload, false friendships, hatred, love, and forced maturity.

So it's a fucking blast.
I suppose the whole experience varies from person to person, mine sucked and are still currently sucking...

[Paixao]

13 - Moved from my country I had grown up in, uprooted and confused
14 - Continued to hate the people I met in new country. Continued to not fit in. Developed depression, self harmed and seriously considered suicide on a regular basis
15 - Continued cycle of depression and self harm, made good friends with a girl who I had known from orchestra, mental state began to improve
16 - Friendship eventually developed into something more. Became boyfriend/girlfriend. Still occasionally self harmed. Overall improvement in life however
17 - Moved to boarding school in England. Struggled again to make friends but made 2 good friends. Eventually developed hatred for most of the population of the new school (surprise...). Continued long distance relationship with girlfriend.
18 - School performance decreased, caused stress, vicious cycle. Eventually rotten exam results. Relationship with girlfriend becomes fraught, worsening stress. Eventually leads to breakup. 5 Weeks in S.Korea helps. Manage to defer entry to uni for a year, start gap year!

So yeah... its been gradually getting better... sorta.

Anyway, in the end nobody really cares so yeah Story of my recent life for nothing

Chin up.

[Vuvask-hab]

Ongoing, but somehow nothing special besides my interesting 'dark spell' of 2011 consisting of a string of late homeworks. I'm also preparing and fundraising for an expedition to Ecuador in a couple of years, where my frail form will likely shrivel up and die. Fun times, guys, fun times. And I suppose my political and philosophical views have developed quite a bit over the past few years as well. I do fairly well at school: for the most part, I'm well-rounded in the academic subjects. My weakest subject that I actually do (GCSEs and all) is Music, but that's not because I hate it

I also have to shave my whiskers fairly regularly now. I'm aiming for a Van Dyke.

[Ovisterra]

It's good so far. It's not what I expected and it's not what anyone said it would be like, but I'm sorta making shit up as I go along and it's working out. I have very little to complain about.

[Vareiln]

I'm still in them. Hardly living them. The days pass by with no promise of hope and the stress just builds up with no escape. I currently have practically no friends, my family is full of assholes, and I myself am the worst person I've ever known.
Yeah... I hope this is all just hormones.

It is.

I just want it to end... I don't ever want to see any of the people I currently know, with the exception of my older brother, again.

[Conserative Morality]

I'm in my teenage years, technically. I'm eighteen now, and I must say, life just keeps getting better as time goes on. I'd rather not go back.

It's hard getting used to the knowledge that you're younger than me.

But I'm not here to stroke your ego publicly.

I agree, but at that time my miseries seemed much bigger than they do now. I overreacted a lot.

Well...

Could we do it privately then?

I find that as people get older, their perspective becomes less and less skewed towards overreaction. It seems to be a common thread.

[SaintB]

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. A sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. If I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fifteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shaven scrotum....

So,what is better now?

[Stovokor]

Initially violent, sad, cynical, ended on a good note when I went to college. Over all, it needed more alcohol.

By violent you mean getting in fights or bullied/abused?

Bullied, got into fights, and my father was a rather poor one and a mean drunk.

[Forsher]

Most of it is seemingly spent here. I lie, I do sleep and watch television and there's this thing called school. Plus, books and graphic novels and DVDs (mostly watched late at night). And the holidays... I become semi-nocturnal, 2pm-2am is not an unusual day. Homework occasionally features, a thousand words there a thousand words here, no biggie.

I feel for you. :/

My life's been pretty similar.

13 - Became popular, made tons of friends, had a massive social life. But moved away from the country I grew up in, uprooted and confused.
14 - Same as your 14, haha.
15 - Moved back but still depressed, friendless, and regularly considering suicide. :/

And I expect the same when I'm 16 soon as well.

[Volnotova]

You didn't live in California for two years?

Just turned 18 today.

Happy Birthday friend.

[Herador]

I was really skinny for some of it, pretty fat for most of it, awkward for the first parts, and a sociable but neurotic mess for the rest. I had friends and I lost some friends, I had "loves" but those never panned out for me (though I don't really think they do for anyone). I suppose the most interesting moment of my teenage life was when I got into a fight my sophomore year of high school when I kicked a kid so hard in the daddy bags I heard he had to get one removed. So there you have it, I was a normal kid who kicked someone in the nad's so hard one of them ceased existing...maybe.
