When I turned 13 I thought being a teenager would be fun, exciting, and cool. Doing stereotypical stuff like going to parties, and hanging out with friends and all of the other teenager stuff you can think of. Basically the opposite happened, i'm lonelier than ever, and don't do much. Does anyone else feel this way? Guess I expected too much. Too bad life isn't a disney movie :roll:

No, I was afraid of stuff like having to give up things I enjoyed as a kid, such as playing with dolls and stuffed animals or watching cartoons. And that school would be much harder, especially math because of my dyscalculia. All NT teens seem to care about is fitting in and sex and doing stupid things like smoking and underage drinking.

I never really thought much about having to give up child stuff because in my eyes, teenagers are still children.

Being a teenager meant not giving up most of the things I enjoyed as a kid, while also having more independence and doing a lot of stereotypical teenage things like hook-ups and experimenting with intoxicants.

As Beavis and Butthead would say, it was pretty cool.
