I never really had a teenage experience. I went from childhood to maturity, and in some ways, it short-circuited me emotionally.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never had teenage years. I guess because I was seen to be more adult than anybody around me.
I didn't have a teen age at all. I didn't even look at boys, never mind... then suddenly it was like, 'Oh my god!' So I made up for a lot of lost time very quickly. It was kind of bonkers. Working hard, partying hard - but also experiencing life, you know.
I just wanted to do something about the teenage experience; it's such a wonderful and horrible time of life.
I felt all the things that other teenagers felt. I was insecure in lots of ways, over-confident in others. I was very emotional. Excitable.
Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
I love teenagers. I loved being a teenager.
I think I've been lucky enough to have had an extended adolescence. I'm a lot like I was when I was 15.
During my teen years, I was real emotional. I could be really up or down.
I think every teenager goes through their angst. People who are like, 'No, I had a perfect adolescence,' make me wonder how that is possible.
When you're a teenager, your essence is so specific to being a teenager, and everything becomes so extreme. Your emotions are on the surface, and you oscillate between different things at one time.
