How Were You As A Young Teen?!

[Scarlett]

I’m trying to think of things that REALLY mattered to me when I was 13; and what was SO UNFAIR, that I would now find hilarious! Think Kevin the teenager. What really mattered to you at 13, that you can now see was just your hormones?

[Bobbisox1]

I didn’t have raging hormones at 13, I enjoyed life ,I enjoyed school, I had loads of friends

[douglas9401]

Much the same as now but with more hair.

[Zacs-Master]

Struggling to think about this one.....
Hang on a min.

Teachers abusing me,
Getting beat up,
Self esteem non existant,
parents who didnt give a fu..
wanting to throw myself in front of a bus.

Nope sorry!
Cant find anything hilarious.
What a killjoy eh?
Schooldays best days and all that ;-)

Was there anything that you were really passionate about but now seems ridiculous? Pokémon etc ?!

[Peter Pedant]

at 13 - being good at games ( I wasnt)
really really important

[Sqad]

Whe did Pokemon play for?

Getting to the teenage disco on a Sunday afternoon being told I couldn't go was the pits, throwing a tantrum and being locked in the front room and told to listen to the record collection was miserable until I realised my Dad was a bit thick, as the living room was on the ground floor and i could jump out - get to the disco and be home before tea. I set the rules then for my younger siblings as they got to that age, I told them, jump out the front window. when we got older and our parents were our 'friends' we told them what we did

What really mattered to me at 13 was some sort of love and justice.
It wasn't just my hormones
Now 56 and it still matters!

I was a very non-hormonal well behaved teenager, if a bit too reserved, and never caused hassle at all to my (single parent by then) mother.Even the things that bothered me I never told anyone.

[Peter Pedant]

being bullied, with absolutely no hope of justice

I think Chris Buen and I share the honour of having men we ere at school with much later, sending an intermediary to ask : "do you want to speak to that fellow over there he was at school with you?"

( I will talk to anyone: dog poo in the street and so on)

[Redhelen72]

I was obsessed with Wham, horses and dogs.
Not a lot has changed

[david small]

Nothing really mattered to me.

[nailit]

Peter making perfect sense as usual....

Where would we be without him eh?

I was obsessed with getting through the day, surviving not getting humiliated, beat up or touched up.
