Odd,skinny,spiky haired,wobbly,swimmer getting trouble a lot
September 30 DBC. Day Three: What do you remember about being 15? Share with us the awkward, hilarious moments.

Ahhh, fifteen years old! I am so glad I am not 15, or, in fact, anywhere near that age! *Headbang*

Now that I work with teenagers on a (kinda) daily basis, I get to see the other side. Good god, teenagers are hard work! Actually, if I'm honest, 15 year olds are not the hardest to work with. 13-14 year olds, however! Wow! *Headbang* *PointLeft* the only possible way to describe a day with 13-14 year olds is by using that excellent new emoticon. AKA: I don't recommend it! Not if you don't want to come home feeling like all the life has been zapped out of you *Rolling*

Note: I love my job *Laugh*

Who was I when I was 15? Hmm I think that's a tricky one - I was a crazy mix of weird things. I was:
          *BulbP* A successful world record holder
          *BulbP* A failing school girl
          *BulbP* A scared rebel - in the pub round the corner most nights
          *BulbP* A spikey haired non-conformist conformist - work that out if you will
          *BulbP* Sleeping with my best friend *Laugh*

*Rolling* Seriously... put that altogether and you have me: the odd, skinny, spiky haired, wobbly, swimmer who gets in trouble a lot but doesn't like it!
Thinking about it, I wonder if I'm the right role model for teenagers to have. Maybe I am? I've changed it around a lot *Laugh* I guess the last point is still true *Smirk2* but the relationship is not completely ridiculous!

I was once chased out of the cinema because me and my friend took it in turns to practice doing wheelies in my wheelchair up & down the aisle during a film. We ran the entire length of a shopping centre (twice) and JUST got away by diving into my mum's car. It was the only time she was ever on time to pick us up - we were very grateful.

I used to bunk off school by hiding in our garage, waiting for my mum to go to work! *FacePalm*

*Laugh* I'm so well behaved now!


Quote for the Post: At Pixar, we do a million versions of the movie, and every one of them goes through their awkward teenage phase where it's terrible and doesn't make sense, and we just keep working on it ~~ Dan Scanlon
