Teenage Angst

I can look back on my years in high school and easily summarize my “awkward teenage years” in three parts: 1. The shy, freakishly dorky moments of my freshman year; 2. The legit depression my sophomore year (nothing too extreme, though, I only met with a therapist less than a handful of times); 3. The crazy awesome years I experienced through my junior and senior moments of high school. My mom can agree to this, my sister acknowledges it, and my friends appreciated it: I wasn’t a dramatic little bitchy, whiny, gossipy high school kid. And thankfully, I’m out of that rut so I will never get planted with that title. However, having a sister still in high school and being an acquaintance of many a junior and senior this year, I’m aware that this plague is staying strong in others. Even seeing mere OMGZZZ from them on social sites made me want to gnaw my fingers off so I’d never be able to click on that site again.

And as a means of making myself feel a bit more relieved, I deleted these people from my myspace “friends list” instead of wasting time and energy continuing on with this blog. What proactive thing have YOU done today?

And, a giant thanks for the creator of yourscenesucks.com (Rob Dobi) for this well renowned image we all unfortunately get when we think of this misfortune of society.

I sure do want to be HER best friend.
